Seventy-three years after the Toronto Huskies hosted the first NBA game in league history, the city's current franchise, the Raptors, pulled out a dramatic Game 6 victory over the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors to capture the first title in franchise history.With a nation hanging on their every shot, Canada's only NBA team put the finishing touches to a remarkable 4-2 series upset at Oakland's Oracle Arena that denied the Warriors a fourth championship in five years. When the final buzzer sounded, jubilant Raptors fans flooded the streets of downtown Toronto for a night of celebration not seen in the city since Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays last won a World Series title in 1993. Facing elimination and playing without former MVP Kevin Durant, the Warriors' season and dynasty was on the line Thursday night in Oakland after star Klay Thompson went down with a knee injury against the Toronto Raptors. Thompson left the game, then limped out of the tunnel and returned to the court - drawing raucous cheers - so he could shoot his free throws, allowing him to possibly return after being evaluated. He made both shots, the Warriors then took a foul a few seconds later and Thompson retreated toward the locker room again. A few minutes later, the word came: Thompson was done for the night. Golden State still had a chance, even in the final seconds. Stephen Curry missed a 3-pointer with about 6 seconds left that would have given the Warriors the lead. The actual ending came several minutes later after long delays following a technical on Golden State for calling a time-out it didn't have and then a long review of a foul on Toronto's inbounds pass with less than a second left. Kawhi Leonard was named Finals MVP.
