As NBA Finals games go, Game 5 was a frustrating one in a lot of ways. Neither the Raptors or the Warriors can be particularly happy about the events that transpired.
Still, let’s take a look at some of the issues that led to the narrow one point loss for Toronto. In a contest like that, every little mistake is a disaster. But we’ll look at several issues and try to figure which ones were avoidable, which ones were just bad luck, and which ones we think will be issues moving forward for the Raptors.
Being up 3-2 in the series doesn’t mean much until that fourth win, and if all these issues persist Toronto may not manage to get there.
