Powell rises to the occasion in Raptors-Bucks Game 3 thriller

Sometimes lineup changes are made intentionally, and sometimes circumstances dictate that they be made.

The Raptors got a taste of both on Sunday in a crazily delightful and memorable Eastern Conference final game with the Milwaukee Bucks.

A move to Norm Powell was intentional and it worked like a charm for coach Nick Nurse and the Raptors, because it was a game very much made for Powell — one that was a bit scrambled and very quick with lots of ball movement and plenty of player movement — and you could sense him chomping at the bit to get heavily involved.
