By now you've probably heard the Raptors defeated the Pacers and lead their first-round series 3-2, but we're not finished talking about that fourth-quarter comeback.
Unreal finish. Raps hold the Pacers to NINE fourth quarter points (and survive an after the buzzer 3) to win Game 5.

The Raptors outscored the Pacers 25-9 in the final quarter to complete the first double-digit comeback in franchise playoff history. In fact, the Raptors were down by as many as 17 but went on a 15-2 run to start the fourth en route to a 102-99 win.
That's why I love the NBA Playoffs because anything can happen, like the Raptors miraculous comeback to beat the Pacers!

It was almost the comeback that wasn't meant to be, as the Pacers' Solomon Hill sank a 3-pointer that would have tied the game if it wasn't just after the buzzer.

DeMar DeRozan was the somewhat unlikely hero of the game, having been a scapegoat for the Raptors' struggles up until this point of the series. But the NBA All-Star finally came alive, posting 34 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in Game 5.
DeMar DeRozan ties Vince Carter for the most 30-point games in the playoff (4) for the #Raptors.

Raptors' ̶h̶y̶p̶e̶m̶a̶n̶ Global Ambassador Drake couldn't help but get in on the post-game trash talk and was a noticeable presence on the court during the game.

And though the Jays couldn't get it done across the street, losing 10-1 to the White Sox on Tuesday night, the fans were treated to at least a little good news late in the game when the Raptors score was shown on the jumbotron at Rogers Centre.
#BlueJays fans at dome roar for #Raptors win, temporarily forgeting the reality that Chris Sale is still pitching in front of them

Loudest cheer of the night! They just showed the #Raptors score on the jumbotron! Congrats @Raptors!

Raptors will now head back to Indiana for Game 6 on Friday where a win could put Toronto in the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
