Warriors Open as -5.5 Favorite for Game 4 of NBA Finals Following Beatdown at Home

The Golden State Warriors opened as a -5.5 home favorite hosting the Toronto Raptors in Game 4 of the 2019 NBA Finals.

Toronto beat Golden State 123-109.

Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points while Stephen Curry managed a playoff-best 47 points.  You couldn't tell from the score as the Raptors go 2-1 in this exciting series.

Curry also had eight rebounds and seven assists but couldn't do it all for the two-time defending champions, down starters Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson and key backup big man Kevon Looney because of injuries.

"They outplayed us. They deserved it," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "I'm very proud of our effort, and now we just got to bounce back and hopefully get back here in here Friday night and hopefully get a little healthier and get some guys back."

It remains to be seen whether Kevin Durant will play for Golden State in Game 4.

When asked about playing in Game 4, injured Warriors forward Durant told ESPN's The Undefeated: "I will know more in the morning."
