The Toronto Raptors have clawed their way back from a 3-0 deficit against the Philadelphia 76ers with a chance to force a Game 7.
The Raptors' season looked all but finished after losing the first three games of the series to the 76ers. No team in NBA history has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs and only three teams have ever gone on to force a Game 7 after falling in that hole.
The Raptors have the opportunity to become the fourth when they host the Sixers for Game 6 back in Toronto.
The Raptors have completely flipped the script over the past two games and star forward Pascal Siakam has turned his game up a notch. After a quiet first three games of the series, Siakam went for 34 points, eight rebounds and five assists in Game 4 and 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in Game 5.
He has stepped up in a big way with All-Star guard Fred VanVleet sidelined due to a hip injury and he'll have to keep that up, as VanVleet is listed as "doubtful" to play in Game 6.
Toronto has also done a great job of containing an ailing Joel Embiid, who is playing through a torn ligament in his thumb on his shooting hand. After averaging 27.7 points and 13.0 rebounds in Games 1 through 3, Embiid's averages have dropped to 20.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in Games 4 and 5.
Will the Raptors come one step closer to creating history with a Game 6 win? Or will the 76ers take care of business and advance to the second round?
