The Toronto Raptors took some heat on social media for their use of a Bay Area landmark prior to Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in Oakland, Calif.
The Raptors tweeted a picture of the team standing on the Golden Gate Bridge with the words “Crossed the bridge. Ready for battle.” The team’s We The North slogan also is seen at the top of the bridge.
The Golden Gate Bridge, however, is not the bridge that goes from San Francisco to Oakland. The Bay Bridge is the most direct route to Oracle Arena, home of the Warriors.
