The Golden State Warriors visited the Toronto Raptors on a night Kevin Durant erupted for 51 points with Drake in attendance.
Recently, the Warriors have been missing some key elements in their two previous championship runs. Stephen Curry has not returned yet from his groin injury, while Draymond Green's toe has not healed.
On Thursday, the Warriors learned the hard way once again that the absence of these two All-Stars is affecting their path towards claiming victories.
Taking on the league-leading Raptors is a tough task this season. What about taking them on inside their home without two of the most reliable All-Stars on their roster?
The Warriors gave the Raptors a competitive fight led by Kevin Durant. Five more minutes were needed to determine a winner. But in the end, it was the hometown team who prevailed in overtime, 131-128.
Durant did not just lose the game, but he also lost his jersey to Drake, who received the Warriors star's game-worn jersey right after the final buzzer.
The Toronto native is friends with Kevin Durant, however, he is rooting for the other team tonight. There is no way he'll be supporting Durant and company in this game as they play in his hometown.
