Two and a half hours. That's how long Danny Green gave the Toronto Raptors to bask in the greatest moment in franchise history.
There was still a buzz around Toronto and all over social media the morning after Kawhi Leonard's buzzer-beating, Eastern Conference semifinal-winning shot in Sunday's Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. The shot -- a high-arcing Hail Mary that bounced around the rim for what seemed like an eternity before finally going in -- gave the Raptors a 92-90 win in a do-or-die game and sent Scotiabank Arena into a frenzy.
After a tough back-and-forth series with Philadelphia, Leonard's shot to put away the resilient Sixers was a huge relief for beleaguered Toronto sports fans not used to things going their way. But the Raptors are only halfway to their ultimate goal of a league title, and Leonard's heroics will be quickly forgotten if Toronto is brushed aside by the offensively lethal Bucks.
"Obviously they're great. They have a different style of play," Green said. "More faster pace. Definitely up and down, probably more three-point shooting, more guys on the perimeter but I think it's a style that we're used to playing or able to adapt and adjust to well. Hopefully we do. It's going to be a ... track meet."
"Honestly, I don't get into those debates," VanVleet said when asked to weigh in on the Leonard versus Antetokounmpo showdown. "It's who you like. My whole thing with that is if you're in the discussion, you're doing something right. up there with the best of them."
