Hello Scorum Fans! Today I present to you Episode 58 of NBA Highlights, and for today's Episode, we will have a short recap of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals match between the Milwaukee Bucks VS the Toronto Raptors where the Raptors defeated the Bucks, 105-99 on Thursday night!
The Toronto Raptors took a 3-2 series lead after beating the Milwaukee Bucks, 105-99 in Game 5 completing an upset victory on the Bucks' home court. Kawhi Leonard carried the Raptors again with his 35 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Kawhi shot 44 percent from the field and made 5 three-pointers. Kawhi single-handedly carried them as Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam struggles. Lowry finished the game with only 17 points on 36 percent shooting while Siakam had 14 points and 13 rebounds on 33 percent shooting.
Milwaukee again was hot at the start of the Game as Giannis Antetokounmpo once again had a great performance finishing the night with 24 points 6 rebounds and 6 assists but Toronto's backup point guard Fred VanFleet was huge dropping 21 points including 7 threes. He was the difference maker and I was too disappointed with the Bucks after they let him drain those threes. Another factor that help the Raptors win is Khris Middleton's poor performance. He went 2 for 9 from the field and didn't hit a three. Eric Bledsoe and Malcolm Brogdon got it going as they score 20 points and 18 points respectively but their turnovers hurt their team especially in the last seconds as Brogdon stepped out of bounce when they had their last chance to tie the game.
It was an upset lost for the Bucks as they head back to Toronto for Game 6. It will be crucial for the Bucks as they lost 3 straight including 2 in Air Canada Center. The pressure is on for Giannis and his squad as they try to even the series at 3 games a piece and bring it back to Milwaukee for Game 7. Let's see if the Bucks can keep their season alive. Now, let's take a look at some NBA Highlights from Game 5. Enjoy!
