OAKLAND - The Toronto Raptors can move within one game of their first championship Friday night, but likely they will see a different-looking opponent than two days earlier when they take the floor for Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena.
The hot-shooting Raptors easily brushed aside Golden State’s one-man assault in Game 3 when the visitors got double-figure scoring from all five starters to overcome Stephen Curry’s 47-point explosion in a 123-109 victory Wednesday. That shooting has produced nine- and 14-point wins and put the Eastern Conference champs right where they want to be — with a lead in the series on the eve of Game 4, where they have been unbeaten, including twice on the road, in their previous three series.
Only six others in NBA history — Michael Jordan , Kobe Bryant , LeBron James , Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson — have had 13 or more 30-point games in a single postseason. Golden State coach Steve Kerr announced Thursday that Durant, who hasn’t played since the Western Conference semifinals, also would miss Game 4.
