NBA Update

Relegated to a 6 p.m Eastern time start, the NBA Eastern Conference two seed, Toronto Raptors won game 5 by 3 points as 7 point favorites to take a (3-2) series lead vs the Indiana Pacers.

This has been way too big a struggle for the (56-26) Toronto team.

They are not wanted by the all powerful networks and though the Cleveland Cavaliers had a similar (57-25) record, they already 4 game winners vs the Detroit Pistons remain top heavy favorites in the NBA East.
