NUMBERS DON'T LIE
RAPTORS 104, WARRIORS 98
The "Out for Revenge" Edition
The last time these two teams played, Rudy Gay was still on the Raptors roster and the Raptors blew a 27-point lead, losing to Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. On Sunday afternoon, Toronto was out to revenge that loss from earlier in the season (and if you missed our game preview with Let's Go Warriors, check it here.) Toronto locked down on defence in the fourth quarter and held off the Golden State Warriors 104-98 and Toronto moved to 33-26 on the season.
Numbers don't lie, check the scoreboard:
