That's the situation many Canadians find themselves in when it comes to the Toronto Raptors. The country's lone NBA team is playing for a championship for the first time and it's got people tuning in. Barring that, it'll at least make any novice sound knowledgeable ahead of the team's showdown with the Golden State Warriors. Kawhi Leonard poured in 41 points, including a dramatic game-winner as the Toronto Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers 92-90 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Raptors have home-court advantage over the Golden State Warriors due to a better regular-season record, but these Warriors have indeed come out to play.
