From Jack Armstrong: Thoughts on Raptors important Game 4 victory in Philadelphia. MORE:
Toronto goes big in Game 4 and Ibaka comes up huge with 12 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. They needed more size on the floor and toughness after being kicked around in Game 3. He delivered a forceful response. Outstanding effort in the final 12 minutes holding Philadelphia to 21 points on 24 per cent shooting. Defence was disappointing in Game 3, but overwhelmingly improved on Sunday. There was multiple efforts, terrific energy and support for each other.
The TSN Raptors discuss Leonard putting the Raptors on their back, talk about how impressive the Raps' defence was, and more. He has settled into a nice groove the past three games after a woeful Game 1 where I thought he was quite passive. He had 29 points and 11 rebounds along with four assists in efficient fashion. Butler is an excellent off the ball playmaker and when the ball finds him he can benefit others with his nifty ball handling and change of pace.
