Games don’t get any closer, any more important, or any better than that. With the threat of falling down 0-3 and essentially ending the season, the Toronto Raptors pulled-out a thrilling two-overtime victory.
The Raptors came out with a defensive intensity greater than what we’ve seen so far. Milwaukee shot 33-percent from the field and turned it over six times in the opening quarter, and at the end of the first, Toronto lead by nine.
During the second quarter, both teams traded punches without either taking an advantage. Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard were critical for the Raptors offense, scoring 19 of the team’s 28 points.
