Game 3 of the NBA Finals is upon us and it looks like we are going to see a tug-of-war for the Larry O'Brien trophy from hereon out. From what transpired in Game 2, Toronto have played well enough to give them a shot but Golden State simply used one quarter of immaculate basketball and then hold on the rest of the way.

The Toronto Raptors look to take a stranglehold 2-0 series lead against the Golden State Warriors, who will be missing Kevin Durant (again) for Game #2. Interestingly the Warriors are 7-7 in the NBA Finals without Kevin Durant, and are 8-1 with him.

This is going to be a two-part series and we are going to start with the Toronto Raptors. First of all, how did the Raptors got here? If there's one word to describe it, Raptors are here because of their RESILIENCE. They have all seen some type of adversity in the postseason, down 0-1 against Orlando, a possession or two away from going Read More
