The Raptors had an hour-long team meeting on Friday that came after a recent losing streak hit five games.

Since the meeting, Toronto has won back-to-back games and the club looks much better defensively.

"Coach [Jay Triano] is coaching us differently now. He's pointing out guys on tape and just holding guys accountable," said Antoine Wright. "And you can see other guys getting on guys."

Wright added that Hedo Turkoglu, who is often soft-spoken, has even raised his voice.

"(Turkoglu) has been very vocal these last couple of days about what he wants from (Andrea) Bargnani and what he wants from (Marco) Belinelli. That's just been helping us a lot. Turks is talking. ... We need him to get those guys on track when we can't connect with 'em," said Wright.

Triano says he's still learning how to push the buttons of the team's newer players.

"I've known Chris (Bosh, the Toronto all-star) and I can tell from him how he's feeling, whether I can kick him in the ass and be a little bit of an ass -- to him, or whether I have to pat him on the back and bring him in," Triano said. "The nine new players, I'm starting to learn the personalities of these guys and what it takes. Even with my own children, sometimes you have to deal with them in different ways."
