Game 5 Analysis: The Raptors hit 3s and could always count on Kawhi

In each round thus far, the Raptors have reached a point where it appeared they had taken control of the series for good by finding things that worked in terms of rotation and matchup decisions.

In the first round, the Raptors had completely solved the Magic in Game 4. There was nothing the Magic could do at that point if the Raptors kept doing what they were doing — namely, they finally got their bench players rolling and that shut the only weakness they’d shown to that point.

In the second round, in Game 5 they finally hard matched Marc Gasol to Joel Embiid, and dominated the 76ers.
