Can the Golden State Warriors win an NBA Finals game without Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant?
An MRI on Monday confirmed that Thompson suffered a mild hamstring strain late in the Warriors' series-tying victory on Sunday in Toronto, leaving him questionable for Wednesday's Game 3. While it's possible that Durant could make his long-awaited return from a calf strain on Wednesday, it's more likely that Golden State would be without both All-Star wings if Thompson is unable to go.
Could the Warriors, already short-handed after Monday's news that center Kevon Looney is out with a non-displaced cartilage fracture, win without two of their best players? Let's take a look at Golden State's chances and how the Raptors might respond.
