TORONTO (AP) The scoreboard said Golden State 106, Toronto 105.
The reality was that both teams lost.
Its almost unimaginable: an NBA Finals game where neither team felt like celebrating afterward. That was the bizarre reality on Monday night, after the Warriors staved off elimination by rallying in the final moments to beat the Raptors and send this series back to Oracle Arena for Game 6 on a night when Kevin Durants season came to an end.
Durant has an Achilles injury. The Warriors know its bad. Theyll find out how bad on Tuesday.
Its devastating, Toronto forward Kawhi Leonard said.
He wasnt talking about losing the game.
He was talking about seeing Durant get hurt.
Leonard knows what its like to have the game taken away by injury. He missed most of last season with a leg injury, one that limited him to nine games. He saw his commitment to the game questioned the same way Durant had by some in recent days and came out the other side an even better player.
