LIVE: Raptors can finish the job in Game 5 vs. Magic
(The Star Toronto Raptors)

The Raptors are out to make history tonight.For the first time ever, they have a chance to close out a best-of-seven NBA playoff series in five games, taking a 3-1 lead over the Orlando Magic into their contest at the Scotiabank Arena.Having won three straight games over Orlando, the Raptors can move on to face either the Philadelphia 76ers or Brooklyn Nets in the second round of playoffs that could begin this weekend.But closeout games are not easy. The Raptors have to avoid not only their own sense of complacency but the urgency with which the Magic will play.“Very important especially when you have some guys who are banged up here and there or that can use the rest,” Toronto guard Danny Green said this week.“We know some of our guys can definitely use it but we have to focus on winning a ballgame instead of thinking about what could be or what we need.”The Raptors are 5-6 (.454) overall when they have a chance to win a playoff series and 4-4 (.500) since 2014.Follow along with us for live reaction all game and takeaways from Raptors reporter Doug Smith after each quarter.More on the Raptors:Opinion | Damien Cox: Raptors coaching switch pays off as agent of changeRaptors unload playoff baggage with experienced crew on boardOpinion | Dave Feschuk: Rolling Raptors add killer instinct to post-season playbookDoug Smith is a sports reporter based in Toronto.
