Tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC we have Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Toronto Raptors have a 2-1 series lead going into tonight. If you watched Game 3 you saw the scratching and clawing of the Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry doing all he could to keep his team afloat. Curry had a career and finals high 47 points in the game, but despite his efforts, injuries by fellow stars Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant made Curry’s valiant efforts in vain. The Raptors had 6 players in double figures on the night carrying Toronto to a 123-109 victory to pull ahead in the series.
If the game wasn’t drama enough, Raptors star Kyle Lowry was pushed by a fan sitting floor side after he flew into the stands on a play. Lowry, who did not even land on the disgruntled fan was then pushed and a verbal altercation ensued. Lowry kept his cool, and security escorted the fan out of the game. It turns out that fan was is Golden State Warrior Investor Mark Stevens. On Thursday, the NBA and team announced a year long ban for Stevens, along with a $500,000 dollar fine.
Yikes, That’s a lot of money! The Raptors have their own floor fan drama with rap star Drake in usual attendance for Raptor home games usually giving his verbal displeasures to opposing teams during games. Despite the dramatics, Game 3 proved to be a good one regardless. With Klay Thompson back and Kevin Durant still ruled out for tonight’s Game 4, can the Raptors keep shooting the way they did in Game 3 to keep their championship hopes alive? I guess only time will tell.
