Depth was thought to be one of the Raptors' strengths this season, but it has taken a while for players to learn and accept their roles.

The bench scored 48 points in Saturday's win over Chicago, their fourth highest output of the season.

"More guys are playing and they're more involved," Jay Triano said. "Because of that, they're buying in and they have great energy when they're out there. We knew we were going to go to the bench quite a bit (Saturday) because of a back-to-back and we've got some good basketball players coming off the bench."
