The Toronto Raptors' playoff road came to an end as they lost Game 6 113-87 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs win the Eastern Conference final 4-2 and advance to their second consecutive NBA Finals. 

Despite the Raptors being eliminated, the Air Canada Centre was packed with the support of 20,605 fans who showed nothing but love for their team.

The 2015-2016 Raptors season wasn't only recognized by die-hard Toronto fans. Their performance was also appreciated by some big-name celebrities. 

Raptors nation was in full effect when Blue Jays' Jose Bautista, serving his one-game suspension, made his way to the game with Montreal Canadiens' P.K. Subban right after the Jays' win over Boston.

Although Game 6 started off with some drama, it ended with heartfelt emotion.

And what started out as Drake and LeBron James drama...

...ended with hugs. 

Despite the outcome, #WeTheNorth stands tall and proud for their Toronto Raptors.
