The Toronto Raptors‘ bid to make history remains alive.
The Raptors staved off elimination for the second game in a row on Monday, beating the host Philadelphia 76ers 102-88 in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.
The Raptors have cut the series deficit to 3-2 with the series shifting back to Toronto for Game 6 on Thursday.
