The Toronto Raptors won a double overtime thriller against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday to force a Game 7.

This will be a short recap from us because Stanley Johnson and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson didn’t see any action, which isn’t surprising since they have only appeared in this series when the game has been out of hand.

Kyle Lowry, who hit several big shots down the stretch and finished with 33 points, sank a fallaway jumper in the final second to seal the 125-122 win for Toronto.

What’s next?

Game 7 is scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m. MST on TNT. The winner will face Andre Iguodala, Solomon Hill and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

What they’re saying about Arizona’s guys on social media

I’d give Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Matt Thomas some minutes right now. Energy and shooting.

This feels like a Rondae Hollis Jefferson job

I’m telling y’all the line up with Lowry, Powell, OG, rondae, and pascal would be pushing us past Boston. We need to be playing faster and have a bigger presence on brown at all times #Raptors #NBAPlayoffs

Important stats no one will talk about. Stanley Johnson leading the playoffs in high fives while on the bench.
