NBA Finals Game Five Golden State Warriors at Toronto Raptors preview and tips
Raptors can dethrone Golden State in front of home crowd
Sky Sports Arena and Main Event,
2am Monday night
Golden State's time as undisputed NBA champions could come to an end in Canada on Monday night.
The Warriors, title winners in 2015, 2017 and 2018 (and beaten in a deciding game by Cleveland in 2016) are on the brink of losing their crown, trailing Toronto Raptors 3-1 and heading north of the border, in theory at least, for the next two games.
Only one may be required, though, as the Raptors look capable of finishing the series in five games - a 4-1 win was a 12-1 chance at the outset, when Toronto were 13-5 underdogs to win the series.
They are 1-5 to finish the job at any stage now, though, and 4-6 to be celebrating on Monday night.
Warriors star Kevin Durant has been missing with a calf injury for a month now and even if he is cleared to return it may be too late to save the Dubs.
There has been no fluke about the Raptors' success - their three wins have come by nine, 14 and 13 points, with Golden State's sole success achieved by five points in Game Two.
