When the Toronto Raptors fell behind 0-2 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal against the Boston Celtics, it was hard to imagine the series going seven games. Even after they tied the series, a 111-89 loss in Game 5 had many predicting Toronto's end was all but assured.

But double-overtime in Game 6 had other plans, and now the Raptors and Celtics will face off in a winner-take-all showdown Friday night at the NBA bubble near Orlando. The team that moves on will face the Miami Heat in the conference finals, one step away from an NBA Finals berth.
