In the biggest game of the season for the Raptors, and unlikely name stepped up in a big way.
#NormPowell leads the way for the #Raptors as they beat the #Bucks 118-93 to take a 3-2 series lead.
A post shared by TSN (@tsn_official) on
After getting the start in Game 4, Norman Powell got the start again in Game 5 and he was Toronto's best player.
From a scoring standpoint, Powell led the team with 25, but he also added 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. His performance was as complete as they come, and Raptors fans absolutely loved it.
👀 ok Norman
