The Toronto Raptors are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second time in franchise history. Waiting for them are the seemingly unbeatable Milwaukee Bucks.

When the Toronto Raptors made their first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals back in 2016, they squared up against the 1-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers.
