The Toronto Raptors appeared to have control of the series after exorcising their opening-game playoff demons and then following that up with a dominating display in Game 2. Toronto did what they were supposed to do and won their two home games, but the Wizards turned around and followed suit, even if the Game 4 victory took a lot more resolve than they had probably anticipated.
Washington is back in Toronto for a pivotal Game 5. When a series is tied at 2-2, the winner of Game 5 has gone on to win the series 83 percent of the time in seven-game series.
