Kyle Lowry led the way with 25 points as the Toronto Raptors levelled the Eastern Conference finals with a 120-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
But it was an off-court star who had social media abuzz as Raptors superfan and rapper Drake put on an animated display on the sidelines – even giving coach Nick Nurse a reassuring rub of the shoulders during the fourth quarter.

On the back of game three's marathon double-overtime victory, a limping Kawhi Leonard was limited to 34 minutes but contributed 19 points and seven rebounds to help the Raptors level the series at 2-2.
Khris Middleton top-scored for the Bucks with 30 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 25 with 10 rebounds.
