NBA Playoffs 2019: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors Game 6 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
The Toronto Raptors have a chance to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals, eliminating the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
The Raptors, surprisingly, have now won three straight games for the Bucks and stand in position to finish the series at home in Game 6. Kawhi Leonard was phenomenal, as usual, in Game 5 but Fred VanVleet’s host shooting (7-of-9 on 3-pointers) continued a trend of strong bench performances for Toronto and helped push them over the top.
Over the first three games of the series, the Bucks’ bench had outscored the Raptors’ 130-78, an average margin of just over 17 points per game. In Games 4 and 5, Toronto’s bench has outscored Milwaukee’s 83-37. VanVleet coming alive has been a huge turning point but they’ve also seen solid games from Norman Powell and Serge Ibaka, as well as Kyle Lowry with the starting unit.
Another huge issue for Milwaukee has been their inability to get out in transition. In the first three games of the series, they were averaging 27.3 fastbreak points per game. Over the last two, they’ve managed 33…total. The Bucks thrive on getting out and running, with grab-and-go defensive rebounds from Eric Bledsoe and Giannis Antetokoumpo creating opportunities at the rim and all their shooters sprinting to the 3-point line. The Bucks can score in the halfcourt too but it just raises the level of difficulty, especially with Leonard playing such solid defense on Giannis. Can the Bucks get back to their winning ways, or will the Raptors make finish them off for their first Finals appearance in franchise history?
