NBA Playoffs 2019: Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers Game 5 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
The Toronto Raptors fought back to even their series with the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s how you can watch a battle for control in Game 5.
The Raptors got another epic performance from Kawhi Leonard in Game 4 — 39 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, all on just 20 shot attempts. However, it was the supporting cast that really made a difference for Toronto. They’ve been largely silent through the beginning of this series but Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka chipped in 42 points on 19-of-38 from the field. Toronto will need everything it can get from that group, as well as a hopefully healthier Pascal Siakam, if they’re going to hold off the 76ers at home in Game 5.
Philadelphia will need Joel Embiid to get on back on track if they’re going to regain momentum. Even with him putting up a relatively quiet 11 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in Game 4, the 76ers were +17 in the 35 minutes he was on the floor. This continues a pattern where they’ve destroyed Toronto whenever he’s in the game and been badly outscored whenever he’s on the bench. The 76ers could also use more from Tobias Harris, who was just 2-of-13 on 3-pointers in Game 5.
Below is everything you’ll need to watch Game 4.

This game has enormous stakes for both teams, putting the winner in pole position to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Both teams have championship aspirations and going out now would be considered a major disappointment, especially with free agent decisions looming for Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler. Which team will take that pressure and turn it into production in Game 5?
