Just a couple weeks ago in Toronto, the Golden State Warriors were in a must win Game 5 against a hungry Raptors squad. Kevin Durant was torching, and the Warriors were slowly breaking the Raptors apart, possession by possession.
Then Durant’s Achilles tendon gave out, starting a domino effect of problematic depth issues that were compounded when a red-hot Klay Thompson hurt his ACL in Game 6. The Warriors went on to lose Game 6 by a missed Steph Curry shot, and Oracle Arena was closed forever as the season ended.
