Twitter reacts to Raptors being one win away from NBA title

OAKLAND, CA - JUNE 7: The Toronto Raptors huddle during Game Four of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on June 7, 2019 at ORACLE Arena in Oakland, California.

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.
