NBA Playoffs: Raptors Finish Off Bucks To Advance To Their Maiden NBA Finals

At Toronto:

Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points and grabbed 17 rebounds on Saturday night as the Toronto Raptors held off the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 100-94 in the sixth game of the NBA Playoffs' Eastern Conference Finals and won the series four games to two to advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in their 24-year history (also a first for a Canadian club).

Giannis Antetokounmpo topped the Bucks with 21 points (to go with his 11 rebounds).

The Raptors will have home-court advantage against the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors as the NBA Finals will open on Thursday in Toronto (6:00 PM Pacific Time, ABC).
