Well, it wasn't the prettiest game they've played, but the Raptors did what they had to do and they beat the New Jersey Nets 98-96 this evening. The Nets still lead the series three games to two, but the Raptors have forced a sixth game on Friday.
I know, I know -- statistically the Raptors are unlikely to take the series. But there is truth in that old post-game interview adage that the players have to "play one game at a time". If they win the next game, then they will get a chance to play a seventh game. If they win that game they will have to win four of the next seven games to advance another round.
I've said it before and I'll say it here again -- forget the Leafs. The Raptors have worked hard and provided an entertaining season for Toronto sports fans. If they can survive the next two games, who knows how far they can go?
