NBA Finals 2019: Warriors beat Raptors to keep title hopes alive thanks to clutch 3-pointers by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson

Firstpost  

Toronto: Clutch 3-pointers by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson enabled the defending champion Golden State Warriors to edge Toronto 106-105 on Monday and sustain their hopes of winning a third consecutive NBA Finals. Curry scored 31 points while Thompson added 26 as the Warriors pulled within 3-2 in the best-of-seven championship series, forcing a sixth game Thursday at Oakland, California, with game seven if needed in Toronto on Sunday. “It wasn’t pretty in the second half but we just made the shots.” But the victory was dimmed by the loss of Warriors star Kevin Durant, who made his long-awaited return from a right calf injury but scored just 11 points in 12 minutes before suffering a right Achilles tendon injury and being helped off the court. So our guys just stayed with it and they stayed poised and just an amazing job finishing the game.” Durant’s brief return Durant had missed nine playoff games over the past month since being hurt against Houston in the second round, but he briefly made the Warriors look like the team that dominated the past two NBA Finals.
