The first round of the NBA playoffs has certainly been exciting so far, with the Toronto Raptors looking in sharp form against the Brooklyn Nets and plenty else worth watching from around the league.
We’re introducing a new segment called T’d Up featuring Teddy Tong to catch you on some of the best moments from around the league, from Damian Lillard’s most audacious shots to Kyle Lowry’s emphatic butt slap of a team employee.
Which Canadian player in the NBA had maple syrup running through his veins this week? Well, we’ll let Teddy take it from here.
