The Toronto Raptors grabbed a pivotal road win in the NBA Finals by beating Golden State 123-109 for a 2-1 series lead.
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry tries to move around Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston during the second half of Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday in Oakland.
It’s usually the Warriors’ opponent that finds itself in this situation in the Finals, with one superstar tasked with so much more than he realistically can accomplish. This time Curry was that star and the Toronto Raptors took full advantage. The Warriors waited to reveal just how shorthanded they would be. Klay Thompson sat out because of a hamstring injury, though they left him active and sitting on the bench. Kevin Durant has yet to play in a Finals game and the Warriors will be without young center Kevon Looney for the remainder of the Finals.
It took the Raptors another minute and a half to end their own drought, as they failed to capitalize on a Warriors scoring slump, a rare occurrence under normal circumstances.
