The Toronto Raptors overcame an injury-ravaged Golden State Warriors team Wednesday night, taking a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Kevon Looney were all kept on the sidelines for injuries as the Warriors slumped to a 123-109 defeat. Kawhi Leonard led Toronto with 30 points, and Danny Green was singled out for praise for shooting six of 10 from three-point range, to finish with 18 points. “I think Danny’s buckets boosted our whole team’s confidence,” said Raptors Coach Nick Nurse. Game 4 of the best-of-seven series will take place Friday night at Oracle Arena in Oakland, with the Raptors just two wins away from their first title.
