The Toronto Raptors have secured their ticket to the second round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs with a 115-96 win over the Orlando Magic in Game 5. However, the Raptors have something to worry about after Kyle Lowry hurt his finger in their win.
Lowry confirmed that his finger popped out in the second quarter of their closeout game. The All-Star point guard said that he was able to pop it back in, and he is confident that he will be fully ready in time for Game 1 of their second-round assignment.
Despite hurting his finger, however, Kyle Lowry managed to contribute significantly for Toronto. The 33-year-old superstar finished with 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field to go along with nine assists and four rebounds for Toronto — bouncing back from a nine-point performance in Game 4.
Kawhi Leonard also had a solid night for the Raptors, racking up 27 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the field. The superstar forward went 5-for-5 from beyond the arc and 6-for-6 from the foul line. He also posted seven rebounds, two assists and a steal for Toronto.
Pascal Siakam continues to impress, as he ended up with 24 points on top of six rebounds and four assists. Norman Powell had 11 points, while Serge Ibaka added 10 points off the bench for the Raptors, who shot 48.2 percent from the field and limited the Magic to just 38.6 percent shooting.
The Raptors will face the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round. Philadelphia moved on to the Eastern Conference semis with a 122-100 win against the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 of their first-round series.
