Despite the continued absence of Kevin Durant and early exits due to injury by Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney, as NBA.com reported, the Golden State Warriors somehow came back from five points down at halftime to overtake the Toronto Raptors and wring out a crucial away win in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday. Now, the series shifts to Oakland where the Warriors hope to break the deadlock in the 1-1 series by taking advantage of their home court — even as the injury list expands. Durant’s return is uncertain but will almost certainly not come in Game 3, while Looney is ruled out for the series with fractured cartilage. Thompson’s hamstring injury makes him a game-time decision for Game 3, which will live stream from Oracle Arena.
