The Preview of NBA Playoffs Predicts an Edge for the Raptors Owing to Home Court Advantage

According to Latest NBA News, the Toronto Raptors knew that they could win against the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals only if they played a complete game. And so far, it can be said that they have been playing ‘a’ complete game only.

They took two games to show their versatility in three quarters and the third quarter of Game One and Game Two respectively. But for them to win the Game Three Sunday, the have to come up with a strategy to deliver everything in just one game.

Toronto showed off some skills in Game One. The only setback occurred in the fourth quarter where no shots were made except by Lyle Lowry. Game Two in its third had nine minutes and their performance was commendable. Other than that, they struggled quite a bit.

However, it is expected that once they return to their home ground, their morale will be boosted for the upcoming four quarters.

In an interview with ESPN, Kyle Lowry, the Raptors guard said that they will put in all their efforts to protect the honor of their home ground like their last two games. He also said that this time, they are not going to miss any chance of protecting their home ground.

But to make things sail smoothly, they may have to incorporate other strategies than just relying on Kawhi Leonard. He was the leading player scoring 31 points in both the games. Kyle Lowry was the only player other than Leonard to have scored double figures in both the games. It seems like Danny Green, Pascal Siakam, and Marc Gasol were quiet during the game.

If Toronto plans to win Game Three, they will have to refresh themselves. But seeing the performance of the Bucks, especially Giannis Antetokounmpo, Toronto might have to ace up their game strategies.

During the regular NBA seasons, The Bucks topped as the best scoring and defense team. Currently, they hold the spots of No.1 in defense and No. 2 in offense, just a point less than the No. 1 spot holders, the Golden State.

Despite losing the first two games in the series, the Raptors are still a three-point favorite.
