Raptors send Toronto into raptures

ETEMADONLINE| In front of a hostile Oracle Arena crowd that stood on their feet screaming from wire to wire, the Toronto Raptors made history.

The NBA's lone Canadian team won the first NBA championship in their 24-year history, beating the Golden State Worriers, 114-110, in Game 6 of the finals on Thursday night.

The game ended in thrilling fashion. With 9.6 seconds left and the Raptors up by one, 111-110, the Raptors committed a costly turnover after Danny Green threw an errant pass to Pascal Siakam. The Warriors had a chance to win when Stephen Curry attempted a three-pointer over three defenders

with 0.9 seconds left, but the ball rolled out of the rim.

The victory wasn't just historic. It was highly impressive given the raucous crowd in Oakland that

was both trying to keep their team's dynasty alive and honoring the Warriors' final game ever at

Oracle Arena.

The crowd at Oracle Arena was loud, feverish -- and very vocal. When Thompson shot free

throws, they chanted "Game 6 Klay." After a video tribute to Durant, they chanted "KD, KD." When Curry shot free throws, they yelled "M-V-P! M-V-P!" And when Curry signaled for them to make noise, they roared.

But none of it mattered.
It was the Raptors' night, and they had to earn it every second of the way.
