The Toronto Raptors took a 3-2 series lead in their Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup with the Miami Heat with a wire-to-wire victory in Game 5, fuelled by monster games from both of their All-Stars. Who'd a thunk it?
The Toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat 99-91 on Wednesday night, never once relinquishing their early lead.
The wire-to-wire effort might represent Toronto's best performance this whole postseason, especially considering it was the only game in 12 in which both Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were undeniably effective.
The Raps now head to South Beach for an elimination game on Friday night, just needing to win one of the next two games to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history.
