Raptors look to close out Wizards

Exactly one year ago, the Toronto Raptors clinched a postseason series on the road.

The location was Milwaukee, but the Raptors are hoping to experience the same feeling Friday night when they visit the Washington Wizards in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

Toronto won two of three road games in last season's series, including a 92-89 win at Milwaukee in Game 6 when DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points.

The Raptors' series against Washington reached six games because the home team is unbeaten. Toronto allowed 122 points last Friday in Game 3 and then blew a double-digit lead and scored 18 points in the fourth quarter of a 106-98 loss in Game 4 on Sunday.
