Top 5 Moments from the Toronto Raptors Championship Run

The 2019 Toronto Raptors Championship run  was truly a historic moment for our country, uniting fans from coast-to-coast-to-coast as we followed the Toronto Raptors through a 24-game journey, from the first tip-off in Round 1  to hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy as NBA Champions.

Now, you can relive all those moments by following Sportsnet and TSN as they broadcast all of the Raptors post-season games against the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Golden State Warriors from Friday, March 20 to Sunday, April 12.


Here are the Top 5 moments we can’t wait to watch again:

1) Round 1: Game 3: Toronto @ Orlando

This is the game where we watched Paskal Siakam make magic happen, leading the Raptors to victory and showing us all he has what it takes to be a NBA star.

2) Round 2: Game 7: Philadelphia @ Toronto

The shot. Who can forget the four bounces over the rim as Kawhi Leonard shot from the corner just as the buzzer went off giving Toronto a 92-90 victory?

3) Eastern Conference Finals: Game 3: Milwaukee @ Toronto

Fighting to erase a two-game deficit, the Raptors forced the Bucks into double-overtime and set the tone that they were here to win. 

4) Eastern Conference Finals: Game 6: Milwaukee @ Toronto

In an “all is lost” moment, the Raptors were down by 15 at halftime and the NBA Finals seemed like a pipe dream. Coming back in the 2nd half, the team put on a dazzling performance to overcome the Bucks 100-94 and punching their ticket to the NBA Finals.

5) NBA Finals: Game 6: Toronto @ Golden State

An intense final moment as we all sat on edge ready to celebrate our victory and were left confused and frustrated when a foul was called at the last second. But all’s well that ends well, because Toronto gained 2 extra points for a 114–110 victory, and became the 2019 NBA Champions.
