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 court, Lowry added six assists and five rebounds to his points haul while Serge Ibaka added 17 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.

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.
