The Golden State Warriors head north of the border for Game 1 of the NBA Finals best of seven series against the Toronto Raptors.

Golden State swept Portland in the Western Conference Finals 4-0 to punch its ticket to the Finals. The Warriors will be without high scorer Kevin Durant for at least Game 1, but Andre Iguodala has been upgraded to probable and DeMarcus Cousins is questionable. Durant traveled with the Warriors to Toronto and could see action in Game 2.

Toronto reached the Finals after eliminating the Milwaukee Bucks in six games 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Toronto fell behind in that series 0-2 but roared back with four straight wins to reach the Finals. Kawhi Leonard is playing as well if not better than at any other time during the season and Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said Leonard is the most like Michael Jordan as there is.
