Jason Kidd says Middleton (illness) is feeling better. He'll play & start. "We don't have any excuses. We have to go out there & play."

Rough night for Greg Monroe through 3 qtrs, who has been the #Bucks best player not named Giannis this series. 0-2, 0 points in 12 minutes.

Bucks are on a 20-3/13-0 run and are within 8 of the Raptors with 9:56 left. It's a game again. Ibaka/DeRozan back in.

Presented without comment: Sooooooo many middle fingers getting raised toward the refs from the fans behind the Bucks bench. So. Many.

Raptors: will play Cavaliers in Conf erence Semis; 1-3 vs Cavaliers in regular season and lost to Cavaliers in 6 in 2016 Conference Finals

 

[Hoop Head]

Raptors started the series against the Bucks horribly but with a healthy Jonas Valanciunas, Ibaka, and Tucker they might be able to challenge Cleveland. I don't see them winning but it shouldn't be that easy for Cleveland.

Final
Spurs 103
Grizzles 96
Spurs win the series 4-2
