History was made on Thursday night as the Toronto Raptors won the franchise’s first ever NBA Championship by defeating the Golden State Warriors 114-110. The injury bug caught up to the defending champs in a big, bad way as Kevin Durant was already out with a ruptured Achilles and Klay Thompson would ultimately leave the game with a torn ACL, giving the Raptors a prime shot at the championship, albeit in an unfortunate away.
But, sadly, injuries are a part of the game and in no way can they eliminate the accomplishment that the Raptors just reached.
