Golden state warriors enhance title defence title with a 106-105 win over Raptors
Clutch 3-pointers by Steph Curry and Klay Thompson enabled the defending champion Golden State Warriors to edge Toronto 106-105 and sustain their hopes of winning a third consecutive NBA Finals.
But any joy from the victory was dimmed by a right Achilles injury to Kevin Durant only 12 minutes into his first game after being sidelined for a month by a right calf injury.
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.
