The Toronto Raptors became the talk of social media on Saturday after they handed the Cleveland Cavaliers their first loss of the post-season.
The Raptors, who were down 2-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, beat the odds to pick up a decisive 99-84 win in Game 3.
While the road to the NBA finals is still a long and perilous one for the Raptors, Saturday’s win got an already-eager fan base even more excited about the prospect of their team making it all the way.
