For only the second time in franchise history, the Toronto Raptors are heading back to the Eastern Conference Finals. What a way to do it.
Standing in the way of the Toronto Raptors best chance of winning a title since the team’s inception is the Milwaukee Bucks — a team that has given the Raptors all sorts of problems in the regular season.
The Bucks finished the regular season with the best record in the NBA at 60-22 and have dropped just one game in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Their dominance only showing short signs of frailty following a Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics in the Conference Semi-Finals and even then, the Bucks responded by winning four straight with relative ease.
