Last night, just before the Sixers blasted the Brooklyn Nets into the offseason, the Toronto Raptors did the same to the Orlando Magic, meaning the Sixers and the Raptors will be facing off in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The Raptors have had quite a spectacular season, racking up 58 wins during the regular season. That win total comes in second to only one (the Milwaukee Bucks). What makes their regular season even more impressive is that their best player, Kawhi Leonard, suited up for just 60 games. A major factor in the Raptors’ success this year has been Pascal Siakam, who is as deserving of the Most Improved Player award as anybody in the league.
