Toronto emerged with a 114-110 win, buoyed by excellent performances from Kyle Lowry, Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet. If you’re still in disbelief, this nine-minute video might give you goosebumps.
There’s so much to unpack here, but we get to see a candid Kawhi Leonard breaking down what awaits in Game 6 and brief but rousing speeches from Raptors head coach Nick Nurse.
The best parts of the video, however, are clearly the unfiltered scenes of the celebration, both on-court, in the locker room, with various Raptors drenching each other in champagne.
“It feels amazing, it’s great, I love it,” Leonard exclaims while completely soaked.
We couldn’t agree more and it’s certainly worth a watch if you have an extra 10 minutes.
