Toronto got outstanding performances from Lowry (8/16, 5/9 threes), Green (6/10 all threes) and pretty much everyone else shot 50%. Warriors lost because of defense not because of Steph's offense or comparative starness. Anyone outside of Michael Jordan who was way more of a two-way player loses that game.

The Warriors kind of threw that game knowing they need to be healthy enough to win 3. So they took a 25% chance of riding a red-hot Curry, knowing it was a likely loss - yet they still played really hard and were in the game until Van Vleet made a very tough 3. I think they showed championship mettle, while likewise the Raptors all stepped up in a game they absolutely have to win.

My prediction is both Klay (limited) and Durant (healthy) are back for game 4 and the Warriors even the series - but Toronto will certainly fight. Either way ((2-2 or 3-1) Game 5 shaping up to be epic and I think we are heading for 7 games.

Given that this game with such a depleted Warriors roster was entertaining, remaining games as they get bigger should be great.
