This has been one of the most evenly matched series in the entire NBA playoff season, so far. Three games required overtime to determine a victor. No team has put together a dominant performance as the largest margin of victory was ten points by Miami in Game One. Nevertheless, that game featured some theatrics from Toronto on a desperation hurl that landed at the end of regulation. We also note that each team has won once on their opposition’s court. These revelations further illustrate how evenly matched these teams really are. The series so far has taken on a defensive tone and with the Raptors just a win away from a first-ever Conference Finals berth, the spotlights are burning the back of the Raptors’ neck.
