Raptors Dominated in Game 4
The Warriors were aiming to tie the series up at two games apiece in Game 4 and had the lead at halftime, but the Raptors dominated after intermission and cruised to the 105-92 win. Kawhi Leonard was fantastic, finishing with 36 points, 12 rebounds and four steals. Serge Ibaka played a pivotal role off the bench with 20 points in 22 minutes of play.
Klay Thompson returned to the court after missing Game 3 with a hamstring strain and didn’t show any ill effects, finishing with a team-best 28 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the floor, including 6-of-10 from three-point range. Steph Curry had 27 points but the Warriors didn’t have enough scoring help from the others on the team, which has been an issue in this series.

Durant practiced for at least a portion of the time on Sunday and has been listed as questionable for Game 5. He has been out since suffering a serious calf strain against the Rockets in the second round. If Durant can play, it is unknown of he will be under any minutes restrictions.
