With 5:39 left in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the defacto Warrior point guard, Draymond Green, lobbed a pass that Andrew Bogut tipped in. The 7-foot Bogut had somehow found himself being guarded by 6-foot-1 Kyle Lowry, and the basket was easy pickings.
Golden State had a 106-94 lead on Toronto and the game seemingly in hand. And sure enough, the Warriors won, 109-104. But that final 5:39 was much more harrowing than anyone saw coming.
And give credit to two things: 1) the Warriors’ underrated defense, which held the Raptors to 13 points over the last eight minutes; 2) and dogged determination in the face of adversity.
