Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young thinks the Golden State Warriors need Kevin Durant more than ever after falling behind 3-1 against the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals.

The Warriors have their backs against the wall after a Game 4 loss at Oracle Arena, with Steve Kerr's team finding themselves in an unusual situation heading into Game 5.

Of course, one of the reasons for the unfamiliar territory has been due to injuries, and Durant's calf issues haven't helped matters at all.

And like many people, Young believes that the Warriors must get Durant back on the court if they want to rally and pull off the three-peat.

At this point, Kerr has made it pretty clear that Durant's return is unlikely in this series, which makes the venture back to Toronto an even more difficult challenge for the Warriors.

Given the way the Raptors have been playing in the first four games, it was already going to be hard to win the series even with Durant on the floor.

But with him being sidelined, it has certainly allowed Kawhi Leonard and company to take advantage and capitalize with back-to-back road victories.

The Warriors must find a way to get back on track entering Monday night's showdown, as they simply can't afford to have another lackluster performance if they want to have a shot at capturing another NBA title.
