The Golden State Warriors' ongoing beef with Drake has resumed before Game 3 of the NBA Finals, as Oracle Arena was blaring music by Pusha T, Drake's biggest hip-hop rival.

Drake got into it with numerous Warriors players in Games 1 and 2 of the finals in Toronto, most notably Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Following Golden State's Game 2 win over the Raptors to even up the series at one game apiece on Sunday night, Durant and Thompson exchanged words with Drake while heading into the tunnel.

Obviously, it's all fun banter at its core, but when the stakes are as high as the finals, you have to believe that NBA players do not want to have to deal with celebrities jawing at them during the biggest games of the season.

Toronto took Game 1 behind a brilliant 32-point performance from Pascal Siakam and then built a 12-point lead over the Warriors in the first half of Game 2, but the Dubs kicked off the second half on an 18-0 run to take a 13-point advantage.

The Raptors did rally to make things close late, but a three-pointer by Andre Iguodala put Golden State up by five points with 5.9 seconds remaining, sealing the Warriors win and bringing the series to a deadlock.

However, this is the most adversity the Dubs have faced in a finals series since losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, as Durant has been sidelined with a calf injury, Thompson is a game-time decision for Game 3 due to a hamstring issue and Kevon Looney is out for the remainder of the series after breaking his collarbone in Game 2.
