(Radio Iowa/Learfield Sports) — Carroll native Nick Nurse has led the Toronto Raptors to the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. The Raptors wrapped up the Eastern Conference championship with a game six victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.

Nurse was elevated to head coach last summer and took on a team known more for coming up short in the playoffs.

Nurse says the Raptors have played their best in the post season.

The Raptors won the series after losing the first two games on the road.
