The unlikely Toronto Raptors showed what they’re made of, stopping the defending champion Golden State Warriors last night in Game One of the their NBA Championship series, from their home court in Toronto, winning 118-109.
For the Raptors to have any chance against the Warriors, it was believed they would need their star player, Kawhi Leonard, to continue his MVP-level performances. But in a series that may end up full of surprises, it wasn’t Leonard who dominated but forward Pascal Siakam and his career-best 32 points.
“Siakam was brilliant,” the Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr, said after the game.
Siakam led all shooters with an 82.4% field-goal percentage. His emphatic rejection on a Draymond Green lay-up with just over six minutes remaining in the fourth-quarter allowed the Raptors to maintain their 11-point lead.
“I think he plays with tremendous energy,” Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said of Siakam before the game, “and that’s what this series is going to need.”
The Raptors also channeled the energy of Kyle Lowry, who showcased the chip on his shoulder that has been there throughout his Raptors career. Drive after drive, Lowry put his head down and kept his cool. He ended the game with nine assists.

SOU win the NAIA World Series Softball title.
To a Southern Oregon University softball team re-programmed in recent years to not just roll with the punches, but counter with its own, the vaunted red banner finally found its best-suited owners.
For eight-plus anxious hours Wednesday at the Killian Sports Complex, the Raiders sat on a three-run lead just nine outs away from a title as rain fell and lightning struck. They sang and danced and laughed through the delay, their joy as a collective off the field as evident as their focus was on it.
When they finally got the last of those outs, celebrating each other, as always, came naturally. This time they just did it as national champions.
In the winner-take-all finale of the NAIA World Series, SOU fought off powerhouse Oklahoma City 8-3 to capture the program’s first title. The day started at 9 a.m. local time as the Raiders withstood an 8-4 setback in the first game; they were granted a second chance by virtue of coming out of the winner’s bracket unscathed in the double-elimination tournament.
The University of Oregon announced this week that they have mutually agreed to decline a one-year contract option with Oregon baseball coach George Horton.
The one-year option would have gone through the 2020 season, but it now appears that Horton will no longer coach the team after this season.
Since the baseball program was relaunched at the UO in 2007, Horton has been the only head coach of the team. In his career with Oregon, he finished with a 393-378-1 record (.573) in 11 seasons. He led the Ducks to five Regionals, one Super Regional, and four 40-win seasons, including a school-record 48 wins in 2013.
Rangers drop Mariners 8-7. Errors and poor defense can be overcome, the Mariners have learned, but only if you manage to hit the ball over the wall and score enough runs to make the miscues moot.
But even that formula didn’t work at T-Mobile Park as a struggling Seattle club was outslugged by the Rangers, 8-7. Once again, the Mariners couldn’t stop the slide that has seen them drop from first to worst in the American League West in short order.
Tim Beckham, back in the lineup for an injured J.P. Crawford at shortstop, hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and Mitch Haniger emerged from an extended slump to slug a two-run shot off the left-field foul pole in the sixth.
The Mariners are now 24-34, having lost 11 of their past 13 games and going 11-32 since starting the year at 13-2.
It’s the first time Seattle has been 10 games under .500 since the end of the 2015 season, while Texas topped .500 again at 27-26.
