But after a thriller that took double overtime to decide, Friday's do-or-die Game 7 might come down to which team has the most left in the tank.
Dunks by Tatum and Daniel Theis had Boston up by four when Lowry muscled to the basket to slice the difference to two. A crazy sequence that started with a Lowry steal finished with a pair of Powell free throws to even it up with 2:33 to play. VanVleet's personal 9-0 run - three free throws after a Flagrant 1 foul against Marcus Smart, then consecutive three-pointers - gave the Raptors their first lead since the 1-0 to start the game. Toronto would lead by as many as eight before taking a 81-77 edge into the fourth quarter.
Gasol's emergence - finally - was a great sign for Toronto. He and Siakam had struggled since the NBA's restart after the four-month COVID-19 layoff. His frustration was painfully clear early on Wednesday when he missed an easy lay-in early. He hollered at himself in anger and tugged hard on his jersey. Subbed off for Ibaka just seven minutes in, he then left the bench area to gather himself.
SUPER EXCITING GAME, wow, best game in the bubble thus far
