NBA Finals Replay Warriors vs Raptors Game 1

NBA Finals Replay Warriors vs Raptors Game 1. The Raptors weren’t aided by help from the hyper and chilly residents of Jurassic Park huddled outside Scotiabank Arena, or the entire country of Canada, or a certain courtside rapper who gets fidgety after the ball goes up. It only seemed that way each time one of the Warriors had the ball Thursday and looked up to see a swarm.

And so the start of The Finals was known for a stop. Plenty of them, actually.

The two-time defending champs were effectively defended in Game 1 — hounded, pressed, pestered and essentially handled in a way they haven’t seen this postseason.

Here in The North they spell it ‘defence’ and the Raptors played it to near perfection in their 118-109 victory, triggering a detectable amount of intrigue to start the series.
