NBA Finals 2019: Players react to the Toronto Raptors winning their first championship image

The Toronto Raptors are NBA champions.

It took a team effort to defeat the Golden State Warriors in Game 6, as four Raptors scored 20 or more points. Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam led the way with 26 points each, followed by Kawhi Leonard and Fred VanVleet with 22 points each.

With this being Toronto's first title, a number of NBA players took to Twitter following the buzzer to congratulate the Raptors.
