SALT LAKE CITY — The Toronto Raptors are NBA Champions.
In dramatic fashion, Kawhi Leonard led the Toronto Raptors to the franchise's first NBA championship, dethroning the Golden State Warriors after six games.
The Raptors won 114-110 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena.
Twitter, of course, went wild with reaction.
Congratulations to @kawhileonard and the @Raptors #carlosoberoiyalldidit

Remember when the Toronto Raptors ran the Fred VanVleet Bailout Special for an entire quarter and won the championship

It’s unthinkable the Raptors went 3-0 at Oracle Arena to win the NBA Finals. Heck of an effort by the Warriors to compete the way they did despite so many injuries. What a series.

Well at least the Raptors don't have to decide whether to go to the White House.

weird thing about this Warriors dynasty is the Finals they lost were way more memorable than the ones they won

This is the first sports championship for Toronto in almost 18 months since the Argonauts won the Grey Cup in 2017.

Congrats @Raptors! I can't even be a little mad. It's been a long time coming. And you represent the NBA well.

Also, I can't wait for the tweets when Trump finds out The United States "lost" the NBA championship to Canada.
