2019 NBA Finals: Tip-off time, TV, streaming and everything else to know about Game 3
The Golden State Warriors are bruised but not broken after a Game 2 win over the Toronto Raptors that evened the NBA Finals at 1-1.
Now they will look to use their home court to their advantage.
Warriors star Kevin Durant will miss Game 3 as he recovers from a right calf strain, coach Steve Kerr announced. He hasn't played since suffering the injury in Game 5 of the conference semifinals. Klay Thompson is listed as questionable for Game 3 due to a mild hamstring strain that caused him to sit out the final 7:59 of Game 2. Kevon Looney will miss the series after an MRI revealed a non-displaced first costal cartilage fracture on his right side. And, finally, Andre Iguodala is not 100%.
The Raptors will need to outlast the Warriors in Oakland to swing the series back in their favor. Toronto pulled off the road win during the regular season, handing Golden State a 113-93 loss in December.
