Down 3-1, the Golden State Warriors went to Toronto and took Game 5, giving them a new lease on life and putting them in position to force a winner-take-all Game 7 by winning Game 6 at home.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, their win came at a cost, one that’s already started a ripple effect throughout the league. Kevin Durant’s presence in Game 5 was enough to spook the Raptors and get his teammates going, and Durant’s early scoring helped carry them to victory — but his injury will be felt far and wide, well beyond this series.
