Toronto Raptors beat Golden State Warriors for first NBA title.
Alex Johnson and Associated Press
Raptors guard Fred VanVleet rained clutch 3-pointers down on the Warriors, scoring 22 points — double his regular season average — as Toronto fought off a gritty challenge from the Warriors, who also lost All-Star guard Klay Thompson to a knee injury in the third quarter. Stephen Curry missed a contested 3-pointer in the waning moments before Golden State called a timeout it didn't have, giving Leonard a technical free throw with 0.9 seconds left to seal it. Leonard, the NBA Finals MVP for a second time, then got behind Andre Iguodala for a layup as the buzzer sounded, but it went to review and the basket was called off before Leonard's two free throws. That only delayed the celebration for a moment.
