The Toronto Raptors and those nail-biting OTs!
In the post-game media conference, Kyle Lowry made it a point to praise his teammate in a quirky way. He first asked the journalist, “Can I say what I really wanna say?” Just as he received a “Yay”, Lowry exclaimed, “F*** that was great! Thank you, Norm. That was f–king unbelievable. S–t. That was cool. We needed that.”

Norman Powell was another man today!
Norman did not have a very good past five games. His NBA Playoffs 2020 average of 13.6 points is well below his regular-season average of 16 points per game. But he has repeatedly shown that he can bring a different game in play whenever big things are at stake. Remember his Game 3 performance against the Milwaukee Bucks last year? He scored 19 crucial points that night to save the game.
In Game 6, he missed converting a buzzer-beater in the OT when the scores were locked at 106-106. He scored 15 of his 23 points in the OTs. He added a perfect 7/7 from the free-throw line and an overall 8/9 in the match. Norman flamed up in the OTs, and that’s how Kyle Lowry got his support. Otherwise, the Celtics had all the capacity to ruin Lowry’s three-point-party in the game.
