\nToronto keeps their season alive\u00a0behind RJ Barrett\u2019s (24 pts, 4 3PM) go-ahead triple that refused to bounce out<\/a>,\u00a0prompting this response<\/a> from Tyrese Haliburton. The Raptors win Game 6 in overtime, 112-110<\/a>, to give basketball fans another Game 7 in Cleveland on Sunday.
\nThe Rockets will look to become the fifth team in NBA history to force a Game 7 after being down 0-3, with the 1951 Knicks, 1984 Nuggets, 2003 Blazers and 2023 Celtics the only other squads to accomplish that feat. Houston will attempt to join them as they fight for a third consecutive victory against LA. LeBron James has won 21 series-clinching games on the road in his career, tied with Derek Fisher and Tim Duncan for the most all-time.<\/p>\n
