Fans might have been a bit worried after Toronto fell down 2-1 in the series, but the team rattled off three straight wins to advance.
It looked like game six was over as well when the Raptors extended a 13 point halftime lead into a massive 25 point lead in the third quarter.

The Bucks didn’t give up, however, crawling all the way back to take the lead with three minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Now down two, the Raptors got a huge three pointer from Canadian Cory Joseph, which was part of a 9-0 run.

With three seconds to go, up by three points, Patrick Patterson intercepted a Milwaukee inbound and tossed the ball high in the air to run out the clock.
After the brief scare from the Bucks, the Raptors are now off to round two where they will face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Toronto will be looking for revenge after Cleveland took them out in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, en route to their first NBA championship.
