Toronto beat the Golden State Warriors 118-109 in the first game of the NBA play-off finals game of the 2018-2019 season at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
The Golden State is expected to be the winner before the game. Toronto, which has only been in the NBA for 23 years, has never been in the finals before. This is the first time this season. On the other hand, Golden State is the strongest league team to win the Western Conference for five consecutive seasons(2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019). DeMarcus Cousins, who was also injured, was also rated as overwhelming in terms of power as he returned to the finals.
But Toronto's organization was excellent. Pascal Siakam (32 points), Kawhi Leonard (23 points) and Marc Gasol (20 points) led the way with three wagons.
Toronto, the first NBA Team outside the United States to win the play-off finals first round.
Toronto is the first team to win a championship since joining the league in 1995-1996, while Golden State is the league's most successful league for five consecutive years.
This is the first time Golden State has been in the championship game for the fifth time in a row and lost the first leg in four championship matches until last season.
Golden State won the first leg of the championship game from 2015 to last year's championship game, winning both games in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
Stephen Curry, who believed scored 34 points and Klay Thompson scored 21 points, but other players did not play well. Cousins, who recovered from the injury, could not run for only eight minutes and scored three points, which was not a huge boost.
The second game of the two teams will be held in the same place on the 3rd of next month.
