OAKLAND, California — A career night from Curry could not turn a home-court advantage into a win for the Golden State Warriors as the Toronto Raptors steal one on the road after a rousing 123-109 Game 3 win in the NBA Finals at the Oracle Arena Thursday (Manila time).

Despite gunning for a career-high 47 points, Curry had little help from a team plagued by injuries, the most recent was to superstar starter Klay Thompson who suited up but did not play.Kawhi Leonard on the other hand, dug deep after a scoreless second quarter to score 21 points in the second half to pace the Raptors with 30 points, six assists, and seven rebounds.Kyle Lowry, together with the rest of the starting five of Marc Gasol, Pascal Siakam, and Danny Green, all scored in double digits.The Raptor point guard, who traded seats frisking Curry on defence with Fred VanVleet, chipped in 23 points as the rest of the starters contributed the lion’s share of points with 106. The series, which moved to Oakland from Toronto where GSW will be playing the final games of their franchise in the storied venue, saw the Raptors capture a pivotal 2-1 series lead. The Warriors, sorely missed the services of Thompson who is contributing 19.5 points in the series. This is the first playoff game without Klay Thompson starting for the Warriors.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
