TORONTO – One win away from his first NBA championship, Marc Gasol casually swished a jumper from the top of the key at the end of Toronto’s practice, walked across the crowded court and submerged himself into a sea of reporters along the baseline for his media session.
The Raptors carry a commanding 3-1 series lead into Game 5 of the Finals tonight against Golden State. With a victory, Toronto will knock off the two-time defending NBA champions and capture the first title in franchise history. So, yes, they’re on the cusp of one of Canada’s biggest sporting achievements.
