In the closing seconds of the Milwaukee Bucks’ Game 4 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, a loss that evened the series at 2-2, the fans at BMO Harris Bradley Center showed their support for the hometown team by loudly chanting “Bucks in six! Bucks in six!” It was a call-back to Brandon Jennings’ expression of confidence heading into a matchup with the Big Three Miami Heat in 2013, and a way of letting the Raptors know they believed Giannis Antetokounmpo and company had what it took to go back to Canada, beat the Raptors in Game 5, then come back home and close the series out in six.

The Bucks couldn’t get the job done in Game 5, but after digging a 25-point hole on Thursday night, they mounted a furious comeback to climb out of it, ripping off a 34-7 run to take the lead and reignited the once-quiet crowd.

The Raptors, however, had other ideas. Patrick Patterson completed a wild dunk to tie the game at 82, and DeMar DeRozan threw down an even wilder dunk over Thon Maker to swing the pendulum as the Raps held on to win the game and claim the series … in six.

Shortly after the crowd’s chant, the Raptors tweeted a video at Bango, the Bucks’ mascot, celebrating the win by indicated that they had purchased rapsin6.com. Seriously. Look.

It looks like the team produced the video to be ready for a closeout, purchased the site through DomainsByProxy.com before Thursday’s game, and launched it just in time to celebrate.

Sip that tea, Raptor.
