So did anyone catch the Toronto Raptors game Saturday night? If you didn’t, you missed out!
Now normally during the week I can’t really watch the series because I’m asleep before the game even starts, but Game 6 was a treat because I was able to watch the whole game.
We decided to head to our friend’s Chris and Kelly’s for a little BBQ and some local Ontario beers to celebrate the Raptors!

Now for those that missed the game, you definitely missed out. To give you a quick rundown, the Raptors were down for most of the game. They came back in the 4th quarter to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 100 to 94.
