HARTLEY’S SPORTS SHORTS: FRIDAY, JUNE 14TH

By Hartley Miller

(As of 12:01 a.m.)

NBA: (GAME 6)

Toronto Raptors  114  Golden State Warriors  110

The Raptors are NBA champions for the first time in their 24-year history as they bring home the Larry O’Brien Trophy to Canada.

Kyle Lowry stepped up his game with 26 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, Pascal Siakam added 26 points, while Fred VanVleet hooped 12 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Kawhi Leonard, who rarely shows emotion, was grinning from ear-to-ear, as he was amed Finals MVP for the second time in his career.

Leonard had 22 points in the victory.

It was the first championship in one of the big four North American sports leagues (NBA, NHL, MLB and NFL) for a Canadian team since the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series in 1993.

Klay Thompson had 30 points for the Warriors before leaving the game in the third quarter with what has turned out to be a torn ACL in his left knee.
