Norman Powell Has Saved the Toronto Raptors

The Raptors have a 3-2 lead over the Bucks, and Powell has a lot to do with it.

The Toronto Raptors are back.

Since dropping Game 3 to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Raptors have reeled off consecutive wins and returned the odds to their favor.

Prior to the start of the series, Toronto was 74.16% likely to beat the Bucks in the best-of-seven showdown. After Game 3, their odds sat at a better-than-you-might-think 47.18%, primarily because of their stellar play over a full 82-game sample relative to the Bucks' regular-season performance.
