NBA Finals: Warriors Overcome KD's Achilles Injury, Hold Off Raptors To Stay Alive

At Toronto:
Game 5: Warriors guard Klay Thompson celebrates a big second-half 3-pointer.
Stephen Curry scored 31 points while Klay Thompson (that's him celebrating here, after converting a three-point shot) added 16 on Monday night as the Golden State Warriors, despite losing Kevin Durant to a season-ending Achilles injury in the first half,  held off the Toronto Raptors 106-105 in game six of the NBA Finals, which the Raptors now lead three games to two.

Kawhi Leonard paced the Raptors with 26 points while grabbing 12 rebounds.

Toronto can still lock up its' first NBA title on Thursday (6:00 PM Pacific Time, ABC) with a game-six victory in Oakland.

It will be Golden State's final game at the Oracle Arena before moving next season to the Chase Center in San Francisco.
