A trio of Game 5s headline Wednesday’s NBA Playoffs slate, but only one series enters the night tied at two games apiece. The Toronto Raptors travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to take on the Cavaliers at Rocket Arena, with a chance for either team to take a critical 3-2 series lead.
Not many gave the Raptors a serious shot heading into this series, and after the Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead, it seemed like Toronto had little chance. With their backs against the wall, the Raptors responded by winning the last two games at home, including a 22-point victory in Game 3, to even the series.
Now, with the series back in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers played much better basketball in Games 1 and 2 and owned one of the best home records in the league during the regular season, they’ll look to get back on track and retake the series lead.
