#2 Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers move on in five games

The Raptors will face the Sixers in the second round.

Both the teams sealed the series on their respective home courts and moved on to the next level - which would be the Eastern Conference Semifinals - to clash against each other in a 7-game series.

Kawhi scored a game-high total of 27 points, aided by his teammate Pascal Siakam who contributed 24 points of his own as the Raptors took care of business in Game 5. Orlando Magic showed heart but their effort and talent fell short when it came to beating the second seed Toronto.

Meanwhile, the chippy Sixers-Nets series met its end when Philly ended the Nets' glory run once and for all via a dominant 122-100 win in Game 5. Embiid recorded yet another double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds as Dudley and his Nets were shown the exits.
