The Toronto Raptors held on late and finished off the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 to move onto the next round where LeBron James awaits.

It was an up-and-down game in an up-and-down series, but the Raptors pushed their way through to the Conference Semifinals. They did everything they could to relinquish a victory that looked all but locked up when their lead ballooned to as much as 25.

However, they fought off the momentous crowd and the surging Bucks team to secure a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Raptors faithful had fun on Twitter in the wake of the game’s white-knuckled aftermath.

It was a heck of a series — a learning experience for the Bucks and a trial by fire for the Raptors as they move on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers. This will be a rematch of their Eastern Conference Finals matchup from last year, which Cleveland won 4-2.
