The visiting Toronto Raptors withstood the early surge by the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, shook it off, and then went on to grind out a 105-99 victory to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
The two-time defending league champion Golden State Warriors will face the East champs in the Finals. “One of the themes at halftime was that we’ve done a pretty good job of creating good shots for the most part,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “We had to eliminate possessions where they weren’t great. I thought we did a good job of creating good chances, and the guys stayed positive.”“They are the best team in the league and you have to play them hard,” Siakam said.
“We’ve been a resilient team all year,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “We’re going to go to Toronto thinking about winning one game. ... If we had a few more defensive rebounds from the three-, four-, five-minute mark on, the result might have been different.” Siakam’s dunk pushed the Raptors into an eight-point lead with 6:20 to play. The Bucks pulled back within four on Lopez’s driving layup with 5:31 left.
