Toronto’s Kawhi Leonard hoists the trophy after the Raptors defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 100-94 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday. The Toronto Raptors are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time after beating the Milwaukee Bucks in four straight games, but the most impressive part was that they didn’t get lost at all. Their collective focus remained on their upcoming series with the back-to-back champion Golden State Warriors, rather than on their long-awaited postseason breakthrough. After straining his right calf earlier this postseason, Kevin Durant will be a major X-factor for Golden State against Toronto in the NBA Finals. “They’re one of the greatest teams in history,” Raptors Coach Nick Nurse said.
