NBA Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics


NBA Wednesday Night
Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics
Game 6

The Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors square off in Game 6 of their second-round series in the 2020 NBA Playoffs. The Celtics won Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series, looking to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win on Wednesday. If they pull it off, they’ll meet the Miami Heat in the next round. The defending champs are looking to extend the series and force Game 7.

“We’ve just got to work on one,” Lowry said. “I’m very confident in our group. Our group is very tough-minded, tough-spirited and we’re a good team. We know what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to take one game at a time, one possession, one minute, one second at a time and just go out there and play.”

The Celtics are 6-3 against the Raptors this season, with four of those wins coming by at least 15 points. Celtics guard Kemba Walker was “checking hearts” before Game 5 — he did so by slapping teammates in the chest before they took the court — and the person dubbed “Cardiac Kemba” had to like what he saw as Boston reclaimed the lead in the series.
