The Toronto Raptors had to fight very hard to force a definite Game 7 in their East semis series. The Canadians trailed the Boston Celtics for a big part of the game, but once they took the lead, they knew they didn’t want to let it go. They needed two overtimes to finally beat the Celtics, 125-122, tying the series 3-3 and sending it to the last game on Friday.
Kyle Lowry went off with 33 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists to assure the Raptors will spend at least two more days in the bubble.

This game was one to remember and Game 7 will surely be even better. These two teams are ready to leave everything on the court to make the ECF, where the Miami Heat are patiently waiting.
