The Golden State Warriors came away with a 106-105 win thanks to a late 9-2 run.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson went 3-for-3 from long range down the stretch of the game to lead the Warriors to victory and keep their championship hopes alive.

The Splash Brothers combined for 57 points, stepping up in a big way once Kevin Durant left the game after re-injuring his calf. Kawhi Leonard went on a personal 10-2 run late in the fourth quarter to give the Raptors a chance at closing the game out but Warriors' double teams forced the ball out of Leonard's hands in crunch time.

Hold on to your seats. The Warriors have gone on a 9-0 run on two 3s from Klay Thompson and a 3-ball from Stephen Curry. Golden State has taken a 106-103 lead with under a minute to play.


Scotiabank Arena is rocking! Kawhi Leonard has scored 10 straight points as the Raptors lead 103-97 with 3:05 to play.


An awkward play in transition from Kawhi Leonard led to a monster dunk from Norman Powell as the Raptors trail the Warriors 95-93 with 5:34 remaining. Also worth noting, Kevon Looney has re-injured his collar bone and will not return to the game.


The Raptors trail by just three points, 92-89, with just under eight minutes to play in the game. Kyle Lowry has been great with a jumper in the lane, a 3-ball and a nice dish for a dunk by Serge Ibaka to give the Raptors a spark in the fourth quarter.


End of third quarter: Warriors 84, Raptors 78

With one quarter to play, the Warriors lead by six. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have combined for 46 of the team's 84 points. Kawhi Leonard is still struggling to get things going with just 14 points shooting 4-for-15 from the field. Marc Gasol is still the Raptors' leading scorer with 17 points. 

The Warriors have outscored the Raptors 45-15 on 3-pointers.


The Raptors are chipping away, but the Warriors remain in the lead 82-75 with just over two mintues left in the quarter. Fred VanVleet knocked down a pair of triples and Kyle Lowry is making things happen on the offensive end to keep Toronto close.


Kyle Lowry has picked up his fourth foul. He remains in the game.

The Warriors have extended their lead to 12 points at 75-63 with seven minutes left in the quarter.

Update on Kevin Durant:


Halftime: Warriors 62, Raptors 56

Stephen Curry has a game-high 23 points shooting 7-for-11 from the field to keep the Warriors in the lead. Kawhi Leonard has 13 points but has yet to find a real rhythm on the offensive end, shooting 4-for-12 from the field. Serge Ibaka has provided quality minutes off the bench again with seven points and three rebounds.

Exactly half of the Raptors points (28) have come in the paint, making up for their poor perimeter shooting (2-12 3PT). The Warriors are shooting 11-for-21 from beyond the arc – a key reason they still remain up at the half.

Kyle Lowry joins Draymond Green and Fred VanVleet with three fouls.

Draymond Green was given a technical foul and is now one technical foul away from suspension. DeMarcus Cousins continues to do damage with nine points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in six minutes of play. Marc Gasol continues his red hot first half, burying a 3-pointer to get him up to 13 points on 4-for-4 shooting from the field. The Warriors remain in the lead 54-48 with 3:28 remaining in the half.

DeMarcus Cousins checked in for Kevin Durant for his first minutes of the game. He rattled off seven straight points to bring the Warriors to a 48-37 lead with 7:04 on the clock.


The Warriors lead 39-34 with 9:46 left in the half. Kevin Durant went down holding the same leg that has held him out of The Finals. He has headed back to the locker room.

End of first quarter: Warriors 34, Raptors 28

Both teams were on in the first quarter. The Warriors shot 57.9% from the field and 70.9% from long range, converting seven of their 10 3-point attempts. The Raptors shot 45.0% from the field but went 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Stephen Curry has a game-high 14 points after one frame, while Kevin Durant has added 11 points going 3-for-3 from deep. Marc Gasol has a team-high 10 points for Toronto and Kawhi Leonard has six points to go with three boards and three assists.


Something worth noting...


Wayne Gretzky is in the building for this special occasion!


The Raptors survived the first blow from the Warriors and have tied the game at 23 with 3:33 to play in the quarter. Kyle Lowry and Marc Gasol have both been great early on – Lowry has four assists and Gasol is already up to 10 points. 

The Warriors are off to a hot start – they buried their first five 3-point attempts but the Raptors are step-for-step with them. Golden State leads 19-13 early in the first quarter. Kevin Durant is 2-for-2 on his first two shot attempts, both 3-pointers.


Pregame

The usual starting five for the Raptors – Kyle Lowry, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Marc Gasol.
