The Toronto Raptors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history Saturday night, and it took an epic second-half comeback and another superhuman performance from Kawhi Leonard to finish off the Bucks.
Milwaukee led for most of the game, and the Bucks built on a seven-point halftime lead to extend their advantage to 15 points with minutes remaining in the third quarter – but the Raptors responded with a 26-3 run into the fourth to take control of the game. Toronto’s stifling defense kept Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo in check, and the Raptors held on to close out the series with a 100-94 win.
Drake was losing it at courtside throughout the fourth quarter, and he might just get more airtime than Raptors coach Nick Nurse in the Finals series against the Warriors.
