NBA FINALS :
The two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors pulled out a 106-105 win in Game 5 of the NBA Finals last night in Toronto to stay alive and cut the Raptors’ lead to 3 games to 2. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 31 points and Klay Thompson added 26, and the two combined for three straight three-pointers in the closing minutes of the game after the Raptors had taken a six-point lead with less than three-and-a-half minutes left to play.
Kevin Durant, the MVP of the last two NBA Finals, was finally back for the Warriors last night after missing much of the playoffs with a strained right calf. But he re-injured himself in the second quarter and had to leave the game, with an emotional general manager Bob Myers saying afterward that it was an Achilles tendon injury. Game 6 will be played in Oakland on Thursday
Tony Parker announced Monday that he’s retiring from the NBA, ending an 18-year career that included four championships with the San Antonio Spurs.
