Raptor's #2 became the world's #1!

Jewel Empire watched the NBA finals with great anticipation as Troy’s Golden State Warriors took on the Toronto Raptors. Unfortunately for him the 2019 NBA Finals was won in 6 tightly contested games by first time winners the Raptors.


The Raptors took the 6th game in the end with a 114-110 for a 4-2 series victory.
