For a team that’s had half of its losses come by at least 18 points, the Toronto Raptors’ turn from underachievers to winners of eight of nine certainly registers as an eye-opener. The Raptors can avenge the lone loss in that span Sunday as they try to avoid dropping a seventh straight game to the visiting Boston Celtics, who have Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo back after beating Toronto short-handed earlier this month. The Raptors (19-18) hardly seemed interested in defending during an 11-17 start in which they allowed 108.6 points per game, and nine of those losses came by 18 points or more.

Since Dec. 18, though, Toronto has turned up its defense - allowing an average of 94.1 points - while operating an extremely efficient offense. The Raptors are shooting 50.4 percent and averaging 24.2 assists over their last nine games, both Eastern Conference bests. Coach Jay Triano’s club also is winning tight games. Following five-point victories over San Antonio and Orlando to begin the week, Toronto rallied from a 13-point deficit in the second half Friday and won 108-106 in Philadelphia behind 29 points from Chris Bosh.
