Raptors coach Nurse managing expectations ahead of much-hyped Warriors visit
TORONTO — The league’s hottest team versus the two-time reigning NBA champion.
If Thursday’s Raptors’ game versus Golden State in Toronto wasn’t already the most eagerly anticipated matchup north of the border this season, Klay Thompson cranked up the hype machine, suggesting it might be a “preview of June.”
“Right now they’re the best, and I expect them to be there throughout the whole season,” the Warriors shooting guard told reporters. “They’ve got something really special up there in Canada right now.”
And so much of the talk at Wednesday’s optional practice in Toronto was about not getting caught up in all the fuss.
