It’s been a long time since the Golden State Warriors looked as thoroughly defeated in a playoff game like they did after falling behind 3-1 in the 2019 NBA Finals on Friday night. After dropping their second consecutive home game, it was apparent that the Toronto Raptors were just a better team through four games.
But after going through a successful practice on Sunday, Warriors star forward Kevin Durant was upgraded to questionable for Game 5. He hasn’t played basketball in a month, but another star returning to the lineup will provide an emotional and statistical boost - both aspects are sorely needed.
