Golden State Warriors lost their final game at Oracle Arena 114-110 to the Toronto Raptors, handing the Canadian squad their first NBA title in a hard-fought game where neither team could build a sizable lead after the first quarter. The crowd was on fire the whole game, giving the Warriors the impassioned sendoff they deserved after the 42 years they spent in the City.Perhaps this gamewould have been different if the Warriors had been healthy, but Kevin Durant was lost to an Achilles rupture in the previous game and Klay Thompson was injured in the third quarter of this game when his knee appeared to buckle on a dunk attempt where he was fouled. After he made his free throw attempts, he did not return to the game. The Raptors played solid defense and hit some clutch shots in the fourth and managed to hold on for the win.This ends Golden State’s quest for a three-peat and gives the East its first Lebron James-less title since the Boston Celtics overcame the Lakers in 2008. Oracle Arena now will lie dormant as the Warriors move across the Bay Bridge to their new digs in San Francisco for next season, which begins in the fall. But much like 49ers games lost their charm when the team moved from dank, windy old Candlestick to Santa Clara where fans pay to enjoy watching the game from the surface of the Sun, will the Warriors games have the same atmosphere in a more affluent arena? That’s unlikely Kelechi Osemele Jersey , but the team is still likely to contend for titles for years to come.

Sean and I talk a lot, at about 4:00 am” said Gruden. “We are considering working against the Rams prior to the first preseason game.Nothing is 100 percent finalized yet, but if possible that certainly I think, might benefit the both of us.We are in the final stages trying to work something out.”This will be the second year in a row that the Raiders will meet the Rams in the preseason.Who could forget last years snooze fest in week two of the preseason.Although it was the second preseason game both teams sat starters due to the fact that they would see each other just four weeks later in the season opener.
