More people tuned in to watch Game 5 of the Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors game Monday night than anything on Canadian TV this year.
With that in mind, we spoke to some fans here in Kelowna about Game 6 and the Raptors chances as the series switches back to California.
Over 18 million of us have watched at least part of the series. The Raptors run for an NBA championship is having a huge impact on basketball in Canada.
Most fans we spoke to like Toronto's chances in game six, but the odds-makers in Vegas had the Warriors as favourites with a slim 2.5 point advantage.
This season's Eastern Conference title is the first for the Raptors since they entered the league in 1995.
