It seemed fitting that the Toronto Raptors‘ series with the Milwaukee Bucks came down to the two standouts on either side in a duel to the finish.
In a battle of ‘everything you can do I can do better’, DeMar DeRozan ultimately prevailed over Giannis Antetokounmpo, but not without some tremendous highlights along the way.
@demar_derozan (32 points, W) & @giannis_an34 (34 points) battle in Game 6! #NBAPlayoffs
It had to be satisfying for DeRozan and the Raptors to triumph eventually, but what really put the cherry on top was this emphatic slam in traffic to put an exclamation point on the win.
@demar_derozan.. to the rack late! #NBAPlayoffs

Now that’s how you put an end to a game.
The Raptors move on to face the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, so they can’t bask in the glory of this win for too long.
