The Raptors got their iconic playoff moment courtesy of Kawhi's Game 7 buzzer beater. Now they have a tough test waiting for them in Giannis and the Bucks. ThomasKetko breaks down all you need to know heading into the matchup:
Throughout the playoffs Antetokounmpo has posted averages of 27.4 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game while being the linchpin to the Bucks’ offensive and defensive schemes. Leonard, too, has played the part of singular Jordan-esque force in Rounds 1 and 2 with averages of 31.8 points per game on an absurd 59.6 effective field-goal percentage.
The story of who reaches four wins first will have more nuance to it than which superstar delivers the more transcendent performance. But getting to see a duel between two of the game’s best, at their best, is rare and not something to take for granted.The Raptors have made the Eastern Conference Finals before, yes, but for the first time in team history there is no LeBron-sized mountain standing in their way.
