The fans in Toronto were relishing in the Raptors’ first ever berth into the NBA Finals.
The Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks 100-94 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night to reach the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. The ticket prices to attend the game at Scotiabank Arena were off the charts, showing just how invested the city was in the game. When the Raptors completed the second half comeback, the fans and people throughout the city went nuts.
