Review Written by Adam Garfield (@AdamThe6God)
The Raptors struggled defensively in the 1st quarter, allowing Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson to combine for 29 points. Toronto allowed the Warriors to record 12 assists, which is an example of great ball movement. Going up against the best offensive team in the NBA, Toronto needed to produce a substantial amount of points to keep the score close. DeMar DeRozan put up 19 points and the rookie OG Anunoby scored 7. Toronto was trailing Golden State 35-43.Similar to the 1st quarter, the Raptors had problems containing the Golden State offense. Thompson and David West both scored 8 points, while Shaun Livingston provided 6 points of his own. With around 8:25 left in the 1st half, Thompson broke Serge Ibaka's ankles, and the Warriors' bench mimicked Ibaka falling. Toronto trailed 54-81 after a long 1st half.
