For the second time in 3 years, the Toronto Raptors are up 3 games to 2 over their opponent. Last time it was the Brooklyn Nets who were light years ahead of Toronto in terms of experience. They won that game, and eventually the series. This time, the Raptors face the Indiana Pacers, a team who boasts a superstar talent of Paul George, and not much else after him. But the team does have postseason experience. But so do the Raptors.
Make no mistake, the Pacers are a highly skilled defensive team – ranked 3rd in the NBA – but that’s it.
