The Warriors labored loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals offered the latest evidence to a topic that should have been irrefutable even during the Warriors’ recent success without him. The Warriors are worse without Kevin Durant, who missed his sixth consecutive playoff game because of a strained right calf. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for a 16-of-35 clip from the field. Green’s fifth triple double of the postseason in points (10), rebounds (10) and assists (10) became diminished with six turnovers and five fouls. The Warriors had less of an answer for Toronto forward Pascal Siakam (32 points on 14-of-17 shooting) than Kawhi Leonard (23 points on 5-of-14 shooting). And the Warriors collected 27 fouls, committed 17 turnovers and conceded 17 points in transition.
