From OG and GTJ supplying a bit of three-point relief and timely buckets to Scottie playing a beautiful all-around game to Thad picking apart the Sixers zone to Boucher being in the right place at the right time thanks to some great cuts and to Achiuwa making Embiid look silly, everyone stepped up tonight. Even Birch played really well to start the game which allowed us to build ourselves a bit of a cushion that we never gave up.

Philly looked rattled all game and if we step on their necks early in G6, they could just completely fall apart. Tonight was their first poor shooting night which in part was due to our swarming defence but controlled closeouts, but we haven't even shot the ball well despite generating a bunch of good looks throughout most of the series. When those shots start dropping more consistently, watch out.

LET'S MAKE HISTORY!

Realistically, thread title should be 'Raps win with a tall lineup'.

there's an underlying message here. Read between the lines.

Chuck a real one. I dunno what Rod Black showed him up here but goddamn he been repping us hard for a while now

You flip his government name around and you get his real name. Then you get why he and Chuck get around to all the good places and have a great time.

Gangsta hidden in plain sight.

Not enough talk about how incredible Thad Young was tonight. He completely busted the zone that Doc was playing against us all night.

You gotta think that even if we come out and **** the bed, the NBA wants refs in game 6 that'll favour us and to extend the series. It just makes sense business wise for them

Yup no damn way this series ends on game 6, Silver knows the worldwide ratings and will make sure it goes to game 7.

56 to 36 in PITP. We need to attack the paint like crazy next game. We have the crowd, momentum and hopefully the refs behind us. No more settling for jumpers...this game could've been done a lot sooner had we not settled for jumpers and stifled our offense.

I give the Raps a better than 50% chance of winning this series.

LENGTH!!!

Maybe now some will admit what’s in front of their eyes—that’s FVV has been hurting us all series. It’s not his fault but it’s a bad matchup for his physical characteristics, especially with the bad knee.

I like the Raptors disposition in the post-game pressers..from Nurse, Thad, Pascal, OG.... no smiles, no celebrations.. still got work to do...lets go home and take care of business.

Nurse's been always great at playoff adjustments

I didn't know why some ppl were mad at Nurse in the beginning.

To be fair, we’ve all been screaming to get Fred off the floor. It only took an injury to force Nurse’s hand for the long Boi lineup to be employed. We knew this was the recipe for success from the last RS game against the sixers…

Ya if there's one thing, Nurse is pretty loyal to his guys....
that said....Nurse comes up with some pretty amazing schemes.
He is the guy who modernized the Box-and-One scheme which has been adapted by a lot of coaches now.

Ya, i do hate Nurse for running his guys to the ground in the regular season, but you win games thru schematics in playoffs, and he got that in spades
