The Toronto Raptors have snatched their first NBA title, edging out the Golden State Warriors, 114-110, in Game 6 of the finals at the Warriors’ Oracle Arena in Oakland. Toronto completed the series 4-2.

With the score 111-110 and just seconds left in the 4th quarter, the Warriors’ Steph Curry missed a 3-pointer. Golden State then called a timeout it didn’t have and was given a technical foul. After that there was some confusion. In the end, Toronto prevailed.

It was a close-fought game from beginning to end, with the two teams trading out the lead.
