Toronto Raptors fans took over Oracle Arena after their team beat the Golden State Warriors 105-92 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night.
As Warriors fans hit the exits early following their team’s disappointing loss, Raptors fans stuck around and chanted “We the North!” at Oracle Arena.

The fans stuck around to soak in the atmosphere and joy from the win, with some even being interviewed by NBATV.
Golden State is in their fifth straight NBA Finals and looking to make it three championships in a row, but they’re down 3-1 in the series. Teams in the Finals holding a 3-1 series lead are 33-1 all time, with the one loss being the 2016 Warriors. That means based on history, Toronto is in an excellent spot to upset the Warriors.
Game 5 will be on Monday in Toronto, and you can believe Raptors fans will be out in full force supporting their team. Meanwhile, what may have been the Warriors’ final home game at Oracle Arena was not a good one.
