At Oakland, California:
Kyle Lowry celebrates a basket in Game 6 of the NBA Finals
Kyle Lowry (who dished out ten assists) and Pascal Siakam (who grabbed ten rebounds; that's him celebrating after scoring) each scored 26 points while series Most Valuable Player Kawhi Leonard added 22 on Thursday as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors 114-110 on the road in game six of the NBA Finals as the guests won their first-ever NBA championship (and the first for a Canadian club) four games to two.

Before suffering a torn ACL, Klay Thompson scored 30 points to pace the Warriors while Andre Iguodala added 22 and Stephen Curry 21.

It was the Warriors final game at Oakland's Oracle Arena before moving to San Francisco's Chase Center starting next season.
