The Raptors take Game 5 on the road and are one win away from the NBA Finals. Details:
are in uncharted territory. One win from the NBA Finals.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 24 points to lead Bucks, who with 60 wins had the best record in the league in the regular season. The Bucks hadn’t lost three straight games all season. The Raptors stumbled out at the start, digging themselves an early 14-point hole with horrible shooting. But, thanks to their stifling defence, they clawed their way back to take their first lead late in the second quarter. The Bucks led 75-72 with one quarter to play.
Gasol made one of two free throws with 34.7 left. The Raptors got the ball back on the next possession when a video review showed the ball bouncing off Milwaukee’s Malcolm Brogdon and out of bounds. "I expect him to be good," Nurse said pre-game. "I think he’s a little fresher today maybe than he was a couple days ago, it seems, in just his demeanour and his moving around in general. I gave him the option to skip shootaround today, and he said, ‘No, I’m going.’ He wanted to come."
But the Raptors pulled to within six points on a VanVleet three. They trailed 32-22 heading into the second quarter.
