The 2000–01 NBA season was the Raptors' sixth season in the National Basketball Association.[1] This was the Raptors' first season without Butch Carter, Tracy McGrady, Doug Christie, and Dee Brown. During the 2000 off-season, the Raptors acquired Corliss Williamson from the Sacramento Kings,[2] [3] [4] and signed free agent Mark Jackson.[5] [6] Basketball Hall of Fame member Lenny Wilkens became the fourth head coach in the team's franchise history.[7] [8] [9] The Raptors lost their first three games, but played above .500 as the season progressed holding a 26–23 record at the All-Star break.[10] At midseason, Williamson was traded to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Jerome Williams and Eric Montross,[11] [12] while Jackson was traded along with Muggsy Bogues back to his former team, the New York Knicks in exchange for Chris Childs,[13] [14] and Kevin Willis was dealt to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Keon Clark and Tracy Murray in two other separate midseason trades.[15] [16] The Raptors won 11 of their final 14 games, finishing second in the Central Division with a 47–35 record.[17]

Vince Carter averaged 27.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, while Antonio Davis averaged 13.7 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. Carter and Davis were both selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game.[18] [19] [20] In addition, Alvin Williams provided the team with 9.8 points, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while Charles Oakley averaged 9.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, and top draft pick Morris Peterson contributed 9.3 points per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team.[21]

In their second playoff appearance, the Raptors trailed 2–1 to the 4th-seeded Knicks in the Eastern Conference First Round,[22] [23] but would win the series in five games with a 93–89 Game 5 road win over the Knicks at New York, and winning their first ever playoff series in franchise history.[24] [25] [26] [27] In their first appearance in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the Raptors took a 2–1 series lead over regular season MVP Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers,[28] [29] but would lose the series in seven games, losing Game 7 by one point, 88–87 in Philadelphia.[30] [31] [32] [33] The Sixers would reach the NBA Finals, but would lose in five games to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.[34] [35] [36] [37] [38] Following the season, Oakley was traded back to his former team, the Chicago Bulls.[39] [40]

The Raptors would not win another playoff series until 2016.
