Golden State used a 20-0 run in Game 2 to come-from-behind to pull out a 109-104 victory as the Warriors' determination and experience was once again was the difference. Klay Thompson left with a hamstring injury and Kevin Durant (calf) still is out, but DeMarcus Cousins came through with 11 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in only 27 minutes. Thompson led the Warriors with 25 points and Stephen Curry added 23 and Golden State's defense held Toronto to 37.2 percent shooting. The game barely went OVER by a point and expect the Raptors' shooting woes to continue as they go on the road, especially in the first half as they get acclimated to playing the defending champions in front of their rowdy crowd. Toronto is 3-11 ATS its last 14 meetings at Golden State and the Warriors have covered four of their last five NBA Finals games and seven of their last nine overall playing with two days rest. Golden State is 13-6 UNDER its last 19 home games and will come out focused defensively again with Durant unable to play. Play the Warriors for the game and also take the first half UNDER.
