Heading into Game 5 of their first-round matchup with the Orlando Magic, the Toronto Raptors had one outcome in mind: clinching the series with a win.
After losing in close fashion in Game 1, the Raptors got their act together, winning the next three games in emphatic fashion with some big performances along the way. Now, the opportunity was in front of them to finish off the series in style. A win in Game 5 would present the Raptors with a little bit of history. It would be the first time they had won a series in less than six games.
