RAPTORS WIN GAME 4, MOVE WITHIN GAME OF CHAMPIONSHIP
The Toronto Raptors will head back home with a chance to raise the NBA Finals trophy on their home floor.
Kawhi Leonard had 36 points and 12 rebounds, and former New Mexico State Aggie Pascal Siakam chipped in 19 as the Raptors dismantled the Golden State Warriors 105-92 to win Game 4 and go up 3-1 in the best-of-7 series.
The Warriors welcomed back Klay Thompson from a strained left hamstring after he sat out Game 3, and he responded with 28 points. Stephen Curry added 27, but no other Warrior scored more than 10.
In the end, it was Leonard who willed the Raptors to the upset victory.
Leonard shot 50% from the floor, and went 9-9 from the free throw line en route to reaching his highest point total of this year’s finals.
The win moves Toronto to within a victory of their first ever championship, as they will host Game 5 on Monday night.
