The ball is in the Bucks‘ court as they are at home, but the Raptors’ win in the last game could be a cause of concern for the hosts. Kawhi Leonard was not at his best, or he didn’t need to be as his teammates took control of the scoring. Despite that Raptors didn’t find any difficulty in closing out the game.
