Raptors eliminate Bucks in Game 6, earning their first-ever spot in NBA finals Globe_Sports
Kyle Lowry reacts with teammate Kawhi Leonard as Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton looks on during the final seconds of the second half NBA Eastern Conference finals basketball action.When the victory was in hand, Kyle Lowry blissfully thrust his arms in the air at long last, after seven years wearing that jersey. Then he hugged his teammates, slipped on an Eastern Conference Champions hat, and joyously scooped his two sons into his arms.
Inside, Drake sat courtside wearing a hoodie that read “Kawhi me a river”. Current and former Toronto athletes dotted the crowd, from Sebastian Giovinco to Bismack Biyombo, Aaron Sanchez, Marcus Stroman and Pinball Clemons. The second quarter had its rough moments too, but then it got a little better. Danny Green missed his fourth straight shot of the night and came out. The Raps suffered a shot clock violation.The Raps were down by as much as 15 and chopped it down to within two points, with intense moments like a dunk by Serge Ibaka, some big drives to the rim by Siakam, and a trio of three-pointers by Van Vleet. But it was hard to remain within a basket, and the Bucks quickly rebuilt it.
Lowry created a steal, then rather than laying it up, he dished it off to Leonard for perhaps the most poignant play of the game. The Raps superstar absorbed it in stride and turned it into a thunderous dunk that stirred the anxious Toronto faithful into ear-splitting hysteria.The Raps went up by six, and the fans could begin to imagine their team was minutes away from making history.
