Heading into Friday’s game, a team that was on the brink of humiliation now has a clear path to redemption

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Kyle Lowry ,#7 of the Toronto Raptors, reacts after their win against the Boston Celtics during double overtime in Game Six of the Eastern Conference Second Round during the 2020 NBA Playoffs on Sept. 9, 2020 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.They weren’t beaten in the first game. They were embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Boston did most things right on Wednesday and still found a way to lose. If mental advantages exist in sport, that means mental disadvantages must as well. We’re about to see which is more important. Early on, Kyle Lowry undercut Jaylen Brown at the basket. Lowry stood over Brown for several long seconds with his hand extended. Brown stared up at him unhappily, refusing the help. He waited until a couple of teammates came over before he grabbed hands.On Wednesday, he was at his whiny, abrasive best. Chasing referees around to yell at them. Forcing teammates to come over and drag him away.

For a nice change, the Celtics played the role of the Raptors. Their star, Tatum, had a rough shooting night. Everyone else sat around staring at him.By the end, no one could make a shot. Everyone looked exhausted. They get 40-odd hours rest and then get back it. One of these teams is going to leave the bubble feeling like they missed a primo opportunity during a very weird year.Which brings us to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Boston is an intensely good defensive team nothing will come easy we didn't do many things wrong, Boston just makes everything difficult

You mean like Nurse riding Pascal Siakam for 50+ min when he absolutely sucked and couldn't even crack a G-League line up with the way he's playing?

Rival Watch: What U.S. media are saying after Raptors' Game 5 letdown - Sportsnet.ca'I believe they’ve been done since they were down 0-2.' The U.S. media reviews are in for the Toronto Raptors' Game 5 performance, and the consensus is far from optimistic. Said it after 0-2 to the Bucks last year too.
