Could Golden State's dynasty finally be coming to an end? After winning three of the last four NBA championships, the Warriors are staring at an 0-1 hole in the 2019 NBA Finals for the first time.

If Thursday's Game 1 loss to Toronto was an indicator of anything, it's that the Raptors aren't afraid of the NBA's biggest stage. The Raptors nearly led from opening tip to the final whistle in their 118-109 victory and did so with just 23 points from Kawhi Leonard. Pascal Siakam — the favorite for the NBA's Most Improved Player award — instead led Toronto to its first NBA Finals win in franchise history with 32 points on 14-of-17 shooting from the field.

Despite the Warriors getting 34 points from Stephen Curry, the lack of depth on their bench began to show. Center DeMarcus Cousins made his first appearance in 14 games after suffering a quad injury earlier in the playoffs, but he looked out of shape in the eight minutes of playing time he received. Kevin Durant missed his sixth straight game with a calf strain and will be inactive for Sunday night despite traveling with the team to Toronto.

Adding to the Warriors' injury concerns and thin bench is the status of Andre Iguodala. The former Finals MVP hobbled off the court in Game 1, but an MRI on Friday came back clean. He will be available for Game 2, but to what extent is in question. The Warriors played 12 total players in Game 1 with no one on the bench scoring in double digits.
