The Toronto Raptors are happy to have Serge Ibaka back in true form. Just one week ago the 27-year old was struggling and on the verge of losing minutes. However, after strong performances in Games 4 and 5 Ibaka is emerging as the “X-Factor” to Toronto’s postseason success.
As previously mentioned, Ibaka’s play was not always a bright spot for the Raptors. He was a huge part of Toronto’s success against Orlando in round one. However, through the first three games of the second round, it seemed as though he had disappeared.
Once energetic and imposing Ibaka seemed hesitant in out of place.
