Fred VanVleet had a big performance off the bench for the second game in a row. He played 33 minutes, dropping 14 points while shooting 4-for-5 from beyond the arc.
Pascal Siakam was a big factor as well, putting up 18 points while playing a game-high 41:29 in the deciding game.
The Raptors defense has been incredible all year long but may have been at its best in the second half of this game, limiting the Bucks to 44 points in the half and just 18 in the final quarter.
While the Raptors have gotten great performances from several players throughout these playoffs, they wouldn’t have gotten to this point without Kawhi – the superstar they acquired in the offseason.
The Raptors will now face their toughest test yet, taking on the Golden State Warriors who have won three of the last four NBA championships.
They’re underdogs for sure, but the Raptors will have home court advantage in the Finals. Game 1 is scheduled for Thursday in Toronto.
