The Raptors are on the verge of dethroning the Warriors. Here’s how Twitter reacted after Game 4.
The Raptors may have turned off the lights at Oracle Arena forever. After a huge double-digit Game 4 win that saw Kawhi Leonard deliver and some stunned Warriors’ fans leaving early, Toronto is now one win away from a title.
Here’s how Game 4 played out on NBA Twitter.
The Toronto Raptors are really a win away from a title in their first year in the finals, all because they took a chance to rent Kawhi Leonard for a year. This has to be one of the best moves ever by a GM.

So ridiculous of those at ESPN making excuses for why the Warriors lost as opposed to why the Raptors won... #WeTheNorth

3 down, 1 to go. Bring it home, @Raptors. #WeTheNorth

Now, let’s see how Dub Nation is feeling. My gut tells me, not so good, but they have hope to make history:

(Keep that same energy on Monday, and order me a pizza.)
And of course, the final memory of the night is Raptors fans dominating the arena and singing the Canadian national anthem after the big win.
