114-110 to become the first National Basketball Assn. team based outside the USA to win the league championship.
The game marked the final appearance at Oracle Arena for the Warriors, who head to a posh new arena in downtown San Francisco next year. It also may mark the end of the team’s NBA dynasty, as several key players are free agents. The Warriors won titles in 2015, 2017 and 2018 with the same basic core, but they were denied a third straight win in 2019 by the Raptors.
For the Raptors, the victory is a final vindication for a team that never seemed like it could get over the last hurdle to glory. Despite six straight years in the playoffs, the North always fell short, blocked by the dominance of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern conference.
