I believe you may have heard the phrase “don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion” once or twice in your lifetime, especially regarding the NBA Finals, and it was never more apropos than it was last night. The Toronto Raptors hung around all night, and suddenly seemed poised to deliver the knockout blow. But the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors didn’t go down — they counterattacked and stole Game 5 in Toronto.
The Raptors are still in the driver’s seat with a 3-2 lead, but this game did not leave a good taste in the mouth.
