Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors

It's very simple for Golden State in terms of what they need to do in order to be successful in Game 2. Golden State did get Cousins back in the lineup, but it was clear that the star center isn't quite ready to contribute on a high level. In addition, veteran forward Andre Iguodala didn't offer a whole lot to Golden State's offensive attack as he scored just 6 points as he continues to deal with a left leg injury. If the Warriors can be a tad healthier than they were in Game 1, the script could certainly be flipped.

Toronto definitely was clicking on all cylinders in Game 1 behind a spectacular performance from Siakam. The biggest question mark for the Raptors throughout the playoffs has been what type of production they'll get from their supporting cast outside of Leonard. Players like Gasol and VanVleet stepped up in a big way and helped take some of the scoring burden off of Kawhi. If that type of production can continue, it's hard not to like Toronto's chances.

The Raptors played about as perfect a game as anyone could've expected. However, the Warriors are too talented not to make adjustments, so roll with the defending champions in Game 2.

The Toronto Raptors certainly haven't had anything come easy throughout their postseason run. However, Toronto put together about as a perfect of a performance as anyone could've expected against the Golden State Warriors in a 118-109 win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals and they will look to continue that trend on Sunday night when the two championship contenders meet again at Scotiabank Arena.
