The injury bug bit the Golden State Warriors again in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and, in the end, the defending champions fought as hard as they could but it was not enough to take down the Toronto Raptors as Kawhi Leonard and company picked up a 114-110 win to close out their best-of-seven series with a championship.
Leonard, who picked up NBA Finals MVP honors for the second time in his career, helped seal the deal for Toronto in the end as he finished the victory with 22 points to go along with six rebounds, three assists and two steals. He received plenty of help though as Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam combined for 52 points to give the Raptors the lift they needed in the end.
On the other side of the equation, Klay Thompson was magnificent for the Warriors in the early going but he ultimately left the game with a torn ACL in his left knee in the second half and was ruled out of the remainder of the matchup by the team's medical staff. With Thompson out, the Raptors threw a box-and-one defense at Stephen Curry and that slowed him down enough, despite his 21 points on the night, to help Toronto claim their first ever championship.
Here is a look at the bracket, the complete Finals results, plus every other series from the 2019 postseason.
