Sheesh, what an important victory for the Toronto Raptors.
Returning home for Game 3 following an embarrassing loss at the hands of the Bucks, Toronto faced a situation which they’ve found themselves in before: win or find yourself in a deep hole.
The Raptors knew a victory would keep the series alive and give them an even better chance of turning the series on its head in Game 4. Still, they needed to win Game 3 to make that a remote possibility.
Things started well, though.
The Raptors had 11 assists on 12 made field goals in the first quarter.
