Toronto eliminates Philadelphia with a victory over Kawai Leonard in the seventh game of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals. The incident unfolded 18 years after another shot by a Rapters player in a decisive game against the Sixers, which was unsuccessful and the Canadians dropped out of the playoffs.
In 2001, the two teams faced off against each other in the semi-final series of the East, with the big stars on both sides being Vince Carter and Alan Iverson respectively. It was Carter who tried to win the seventh meeting for his team, but his shooting was unsuccessful, and Philly moved on to eliminate Milwaukee in the conference finals and then give the Los Angeles Lakers a fight for the league predicted by sport news title.
Then Carter played in his seventh game, having traveled to North Carolina for his graduation ceremony, and had previously formed several epic clashes with Alan Iverson. In the second game of the series, Iverson scored 54 points and Carter answered with 50 points in the third match. Vince finished with an average of 30. 4 points, 6. 0 rebounds, 5. 6 assists, 2. 0 umbrellas, 1. 9 steals and 42. 2% three-point zone success in seven games against Phil this season. In the Raptors-Sixers series this year, Kawai Leonard averaged 34. 7 points, 9. 9 rebounds, 4. 0 assists, 1. 3 steals and 0. 3 umbrellas at 30. 9% shooting distance.
Now Milwaukee is the finalist in the East, but unlike the elimination phase 18 years ago, Bucks` rival will be Toronto.
