The Toronto Raptors have taken a 3-1 series lead against the Orlando Magic following their 107-85 win in Game 4 Sunday tonight. They have the opportunity to close out the series at home on Tuesday, and Pascal Siakam wants the team to finish them off.
Siakam on Tuesday's Game 5: "We wanna finish it at the house. That’s our objective, knowing that we could definitely use some rest. It’s an important game and we want to bring that same intensity we’ve brought the past 3 games and finish it up."

After their Game 1 loss, the Raptors stormed back with three straight wins. They raised their intensity on the defensive end, which has caused a lot of problems for the Magic.
Pascal Siakam knows that Toronto has a stranglehold of the series and he does not want to give Orlando the opportunity to come back. The Raptors forward has seen the resiliency of the Magic and would not want to risk anything, not even one game.

If the Raptors lose Game 5, the series will head back to Orlando where the Magic could even things up and force a Game 7.
The Raptors are one of the teams who are capable of winning the championship this season. They entered the playoffs with the second-best record in the league and will have homecourt advantage at least until the Eastern Conference Finals. They're a team loaded with talent, and if they play at their best, they're pretty hard to stop.
Siakam is one of the main reasons behind the Raptors' success in this series, and he's expected to do his part to make sure that there won't be a Game 6.
