After everything, with the season on the line, the Toronto Raptors had a question to answer. Toronto couldn’t put Milwaukee away in Game 1, and ran out of either gas or steering fluid, whichever one applied. Otherwise, it was about the Raptors being the Raptors, and not being afraid to be the Raptors. Having Norm go off in approximately one playoff game per year with preposterous, admirable confidence is also a Raptors identity, or a near-annual tradition. (Game 7 against Indiana, 2016, Game 5 against Milwaukee 2017, and this game.)
