'His play in the second half was really inspiring at both ends. He did a fantastic job,' Warriors coach Steve Kerr says.
Andre Iguodala goes to the basket defending champion Golden State pulled level in the NBA Finals by defeating Toronto 109-104.
With former US President Barack Obama in the crowd, Golden State trailed by 12 points in the second quarter, made the first 18 points of the third and led by as much as 72-59. Kawhi Leonard scored a game-high 34 points for Toronto and added 14 rebounds while Raptors reserve Fred VanVleet netted 17 points.
The Warriors were again without top scorer Kevin Durant, but the forward is expected back soon after missing seven games with a right calf strain. Reserve Quinn Cook answered with back-to-back 3-pointers to ignite a 14-6 Golden State run that stretched the Warriors’ lead to 106-94 with 5:39 to play. “They did a really good job of getting out of there with speed and a lot of those were just probably mistakes by us or just a half step too slow.”Toronto seized a 47-35 lead but Curry, who missed his first six shots, scored 15 of the Warriors’ last 17 second-quarter points and Golden State trimmed the half-time deficit to 59-54.
