One of my favourite analysts in these NBA Finals has been former Celtic and Thunder legend Kendrick Perkins. After the Raptors’ Game 3 victory over the Warriors, he noticed something about the current mood of Toronto’s team.
I witnessed something very scary tonight after the game! Toronto were walking back to their locker room after the game and nobody was celebrating and they weren’t smiling or nothing! They boys want the smoke! Take it from a former Champ!!!

I really don’t know if the Raptors being cool-headed and understanding the job isn’t done means what Perkins says it means, because that’s exactly how the Raptors should act.
