OAKLAND, Calif. — Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors captured Canada’s first NBA championship with their most remarkable road win yet in the franchise’s NBA finals debut, outlasting the battered and depleted two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors 114-110 on Thursday night in a Game 6 for the ages that spoiled a sensational send-off at Oracle Arena.

With the Raptors leading 111-110, Stephen Curry missed a contested 3-pointer in the waning moments before Golden State called a timeout it didn’t have, giving Leonard a technical free throw with 0.9 seconds left. Leonard then got behind Andre Iguodala for a layup as the buzzer sounded, but it went to review and the basket was called off before Leonard’s two free throws. That only delayed the celebration for a moment.

When it actually ended, Leonard raised both arms high in triumph and Serge Ibaka pulled his head up through the hoop by the Golden State bench as the crowd chanted “Warriors!”

Curry walked away slowly, hands on his head on a night when Klay Thompson suffered a left knee injury and departed after scoring 30 points.

Fred VanVleet rescued the Raptors down the stretch with his dazzling shooting from deep to score 22 points, with five 3s, while Leonard wound up with 22 points. Kyle Lowry scored the game’s first eight points and finished with 26, to go with 10 assists and seven rebounds.

The Raptors pulled off a third straight win on Golden State’s home floor, and did it with the very kind of depth that helped define the Warriors’ transformation into a dynasty the past five seasons.

This time, the Warriors were wounded.

Golden State already was without two-time reigning NBA finals MVP Kevin Durant, who had surgery Wednesday for a ruptured right Achilles tendon. Then, the Warriors lost Thompson – and they couldn’t overcome just one more heartbreaking injury.

This thrilling back-and-forth game featured 18 lead changes, nine ties, and neither team going ahead by more than nine points.

Curry scored 21 points but shot just 6 for 17 and was 3 of 11 on 3s. Iguodala added 22 points for his biggest game this postseason as the Warriors did everything until the very last moment to leave a lasting legacy at Oracle.

Thompson provided his own dramatic memory. He injured his knee when fouled by Danny Green on a drive at the 2:22 mark of the third, was helped off the court and walked partially down a tunnel toward the locker room, then re-emerged to shoot his free throws before going out again. He didn’t return and left the arena on crutches.
