The omens still look good for the Raptors despite losing game five, as only one team has ever overturned a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals.
Curry scored 31 points and the Warriors beat Toronto to keep their NBA finals dream of winning three consecutive titles alive.
Durant, the 2017 and 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player and Golden State’s top playoff scorer with 34.2 points a game, left the arena on crutches and will have an MRI on Tuesday. The Warriors seek their fourth title in five seasons while the Raptors suffered an agonising near-miss in their bid for the first title in their 24-season history.
Golden State answered with Thompson and Curry sinking 3-pointers and Thompson nailing another that put Golden State ahead to stay at 106-103 with 57 seconds to play. “Our defence was bending down the stretch but we didn’t break and the last stop was tremendous. Amazing defence on that last play from all five guys,” Kerr said.
