NBA Finals: Raptors Bop Klayless Warriors, Take 2-1 Series Advantage

At Oakland, California:
Game 3: Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (2) drives to the bucket past Warriors defender Draymond Green (23) during the second half.
Kawhi Leonard (that's him here, driving to the bucket past Golden State's Draymond Green) scored 30 points while Kyle Lowry added 23 on Wednesday as the Toronto Raptors, with all five starters scoring in double figures, downed the Golden State Warriors 123-109 on the road in game three of the NBA Finals, despite 47 points (a playoff career high), eight rebounds, and seven assists from the hosts' Stephen Curry.

The Warriors were without the services of the injured Klay Thompson, ending his string of 120 consecutive playoff-game appearances.

The series, in which the Raptors now lead two games to one, is set to continue on Friday in Oakland (6:00 PM Pacific Time, ABC).
