The Toronto Raptors are trying to make an unprecedented comeback from down 0-3 . They're going to need Scottie Barnes to do it.

The season's rookie of the year suffered an ankle injury during Game 1 of the series and missed the next two contests during his recovery. All three games resulted in defeats for the Canadian side. Toronto has since won their last two games with Scottie Barnes in the lineup, and it looks like he's more than ready for another go-around in Game 6.

Asked about his first taste of the playoffs, and the learning experience that comes with it, the Raptors rookie voiced out that the devil is in the details in grinding out wins.

“Every game really matters, really counts. Every possession. The atmosphere is just crazy. Everything really just matters when it comes to details, game plan. Everything. You just really have to really try to execute and be perfect on it,” said the Raptors rookie.

Scottie Barnes represents the future for the Toronto Raptors. But it's clear he isn't thinking about anything but the present right now.
