In big trouble: 軍人s 追跡する Raptors 3-1 in NBA 決勝戦

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The biggest challenge of this five-year run for the Golden 明言する/公表する 軍人s has arrived.

勝利,勝つ three in a 列/漕ぐ/騒動, two of them on the road - or else.

It is やめる the predicament, and one that they've never 直面するd in the NBA 決勝戦. Golden 明言する/公表する is on the brink of 存在 dethroned as 支持する/優勝者s, after a 105-92 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night put the 軍人s in a 3-1 穴を開ける in this 肩書を与える series.

Game 5 is Monday in Toronto, which will spend the next three days in delirious 予期 of seeing the Larry O'Brien トロフィー getting hoisted on Canadian 国/地域.

"It's not over," 軍人s guard Stephen Curry said. "It's not a good feeling 権利 now, 明白に, but we have been on both 味方するs of it. And for us it's an 適切な時期 for us to just flip this whole series on its 長,率いる, and you got to do it one game at a time. It sounds clich? - and for us that is literally the only way we're going to get 支援する in this series - is give everything we got for 48 minutes, everybody that 始める,決めるs foot on that 床に打ち倒す in Game 5."

They've been 負かす/撃墜する 3-1 before, 支援する in 2016 in the Western 会議/協議会 決勝戦 against Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City. But they needed to 勝利,勝つ only once on the road to pull off that 復帰.

"You just try to 勝利,勝つ one game," 軍人s coach Steve Kerr said. "That's what we did a few years ago against OKC. 勝利,勝つ one game, and then you move 今後. So that's our 焦点(を合わせる) now. We'll 飛行機で行く to Toronto (Saturday) and take a look at the film, see what we can do better and try to 勝利,勝つ a game. We have won a lot of games over the years, so we'll try to 勝利,勝つ another one."

Kerr is fond of 説 that the 軍人s have seen everything in these five seasons.

They have now, anyway.

They've blown a 3-1 lead - the 2016 NBA 決勝戦 against Cleveland, 落ちるing twice at home in that 崩壊(する). But the 軍人s' 崩壊(する) that year was 予定 in part to Andrew Bogut getting 傷つける in Game 5 and Draymond Green losing his 冷静な/正味の and 収入 a one-game 中断.

The Raptors have no such 傷害 関心s, no such behavioral 事柄s to を取り引きする 権利 now.

"They're a 広大な/多数の/重要な team," 軍人s guard Klay Thompson said.

They've 決起大会/結集させるd from 3-1 負かす/撃墜する. But they're 1-5 against the Raptors this season, and now need to 勝利,勝つ three in a 列/漕ぐ/騒動 against a team that has had all the answers against them.

"We 港/避難所't done anything yet," Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said.

The Raptors are as 均衡を保った as can be.

They were in trouble in each of the first three 一連の会議、交渉/完成するs of these プレーオフs - 負かす/撃墜する 1-0 to Orlando, 負かす/撃墜する 2-1 to Philadelphia, 負かす/撃墜する 2-0 to Milwaukee. It steeled them. Toronto got better every step of the way.

Golden 明言する/公表する looked the exact opposite on Friday night. The 軍人s are still without Kevin Durant, 耐えるd a night where Curry struggled, and where their biggest 上げるs (機の)カム from Thompson returning from a balky hamstring and Kevon Looney playing through the 苦痛 of a cartilage 傷害 in his upper 団体/死体.

The 軍人s made a run. Curry's 3-pointer with 3 minutes left pulled Golden 明言する/公表する within eight and gave the 軍人s a chance. They 得点する/非難する/20d three points the 残り/休憩(する) of the way.

"You got to 勝利,勝つ three games in a 列/漕ぐ/騒動," 軍人s 今後 Draymond Green said. "We have won three games in a 列/漕ぐ/騒動 before. However you got to get that done, you just got to get it done."

They may have walked off the 法廷,裁判所 at Oracle 円形競技場 for the last time, with the team moving across the bay to San Francisco and the brand-new Chase 中心 next season. They know the 火刑/賭けるs, they know that the roster may change in some big ways this summer and nobody knows if Durant will be ready for Game 5.

Kerr said he doesn't think of this as daunting.

"We go to Toronto, and this is what we do for a living, we play basketball," Kerr said. "So we look 今後 to playing another basketball game in an exciting atmosphere, and the ultimate 実験(する)."
