Toronto Raptors Pound Milwaukee & Even Series, 2-2


The Raptors scraped and did everything possible to eke out a win against Milwaukee in Game 3 as the series shifted to Toronto, ultimately winning it in double-overtime, 118-112.

It was not nearly so suspenseful last night, as the Raptors responded to a narrow first win by blowing out the Bucks in Game 4, 120-102. The wins were reminiscent of Milwaukee's first two wins at the start of the series, when they had to come back to beat Toronto in Game 1, before blowing them out in Game 2.

Toronto managed to even the series with the win last night, and this becomes, for all intents and purposes, a best of three series the rest of the way. The series will now shift back to Milwaukee for Game 5, and then back to Toronto for Game 6. If need be, Game 7 will be played in Milwaukee.

Meanwhile, the defending champion Golden State Warriors, having freshly qualified for another NBA Finals - their fifth in a row - can rest and wait to see who they will be playing next in the championship round.
