Defending champions the Toronto Raptors levelled their series with the Boston Celtics with a composed 100-93 victory.
The Raptors had looked down and out trailing their Eastern Conference semi-final 2-0, with Boston half a second away from taking a 3-0 lead on Thursday before OG Anunoby sunk a last-gasp three-pointer.
Game four was less frantic, with the Raptors working well to shut down Boston's perimeter shooters, before taking control with a 32-24 third quarter.
