The Toronto Raptors are back in the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2022, transforming Maple Leaf Square into ‘Jurassic Park’ and attracting thousands of fans to cheer on the home team.

Despite a rocky start to the playoffs, fans turned out in huge numbers to the second Raptors Playoff Tailgate event of the postseason on Monday night. However, many left with low spirits as Toronto dropped Game 2 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 115-105, giving the Cavs a commanding 2-0 series lead.
