Whoa! Raptors win 118-109 Toronto leads Finals 1 game to 0.
What a night in Toronto. At last count, there were as many as 21 mini Jurassic Parks not just here but all over the country! And the Raptors didn?t disappoint in playing an aggressive transitional, points-in-the-paint game coupled with excellent fielding/FGs. They took the ball out of the hands of the Warriors at close range, prevented some key baskets while maintaining a 10-pt. lead by halftime and keeping up a lead onwards.
Not a heavy offensive night for Kawhi Leonard nor Kyle Lowry, but it was the little things they did that helped keep the flow. Leonard had 23 pts., 8 rebds., & 2 stls, while Lowry had 7 pts., but had 9 assists. It was one of Lowry?s best defensive performances in these playoffs so far.
The real hero of the night was Pascal Siakam who?s 32 points & 82% FG % (14/17), along with his 8 rebds., 1 stl., & 2 blks., set the tone for Toronto. Marc Gasol, perhaps with one of his best games all-round, had 20 pts., 7 rebds, 2 stls & 1 blk. Gasol was 6/10 on the FGs.
Danny Green, among the NBA all-time FG playoff leaders, made the most of his 3 pointers as he was 4/9 in that category. Also, VanVleet with 15 pts,, and a FG% of 62%. Again, VanVleet, as he had done previously, rose to the occasion.
The Warriors Steph Curry and Klay Thompson were Golden State?s main contributors, 34 & 21 points, respectively.
Of course, there are many out there who aren?t convinced the Warriors will go down easily, or that the Raptors will sweep ?em. In fact, with the possible return of Kevin Durant for Golden State for Game 2, the Warriors will have that extra arsenal on offence. But then again, the Raptors will be waiting.
Great team effort!
