Pretty incredible score given the Raps are on pace for 4/34 from three.

After all those missed shots the Raptors should be thrilled to only be down 4. Klay was on fire too. Guess we’ll see how the second half goes.

Raptors being only down 4 at the half is a miracle.

Not worried at all. Board man's getting paid in the 2nd half.

Curry pushes away the defensive player every possession off the ball, I wonder how the game changes if the refs call him for that.

Weird game. Neither team playing great.

Rebounding is probably the difference so far.

Curry missed some decent looks from 3 that won't last

You get that benefit of the doubt when you’re literally the GOAT shooter.

People are seriously whining about the refs after that? That was a MUCH better reffed half than we saw in either of the last 2 games. They actually let a lot of stuff go and we had really nice pace of play and game flow

Looks like a game that'll be decided in the last 60 seconds.

Bolts wrote:11 fouls to 5. At what point do Raptors fans acknowledge they are getting all the calls? Is there an honest Raptors fan here?

That’s not a huge gap. That said, refs have been fine overall and is certainly a better officiated game then 2 or 3

The Raptors should feel really good. The Warriors came out with a ton of energy and have not really had any sort of runs. Van Fleet, Siakim and Green have shot like crap, if even one of them gets going its going to the wire.....

You should see how teams overreact when a certain 6’10 2 times Finals MVP sniper is on the floor

Raptors down 4 playing the worst offensive half of the playoffs.
