The Golden State War- riors felt like they were seeing a version of them- selves in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and now they have to stop it. No problem, they fg- ure, with Game 2 looming tonight (7 p.m., ABC). “It’s frst team to four, not frst to one,” Golden State guard Klay Thomp- son said. “So, still a lot of basketball to be played.” The Warriors’ 1-0 def- cit may be unusual, but they certainly don’t seem uncomfortable. Golden State had won 12-straight Game 1s before falling 118-109 on Thursday, and the two-time defending champions hadn’t been behind in the NBA Finals since Cleveland had a 2-1 lead in 2015. Golden State coach Steve Kerr has pointed to his team’s poor transi- tion defense in the open- er after Toronto used its quickness to score 24 fast- break points and turn the Warriors’ 17 turnovers into 17 points. “They were getting the ball off the rim and just pushing it. Instead of crashing as hard as we did, we’ll have to make the adjustment in Game 2 and try to send more guys back,” Thompson said Saturday. “But 10 days off as well, we might have had a little cobwebs. It was just a mixture of things. But I know this: I know we’ll be better tomorrow.” Kerr said the Raptors reminded him of his War- riors, with Pascal Siakam pushing the ball in tran- sition the way Draymond Green does. But Siakam was the far more effective player in the opener, with 32 points while Green struggled to a 2 for 9 night. But the Warriors aren’t worried, relying on the confdence from facing just about every possible situation while making it to fve straight NBA Finals. “They got rings and they can be confdent,” Raptors guard Kyle Low- ry said. “We can’t really necessarily worry about them. We have to con- tinue to worry about us. They’re going to be them and they’re going to do their thing, but for us we have to concentrate on us and focus on what we have to do.” BETTER LEONARD? Toronto forward Kawhi Leonard scored 23 points in the opener but shot just 5 for 14 after averag- ing 31.2 points in the frst three rounds. Coach Nick Nurse doesn’t think the All-Star forward was both- ered by a leg injury that appeared to hamper him somewhat in the Eastern Conference fnals. “I don’t think the leg trouble is much of an is- sue,” Nurse said, “and I’m expecting him to play a lot better.” TALKING TRASH If the Warriors want to rattle Leonard, it will re- quire actions rather than words. The 2014 NBA Finals MVP always appears to be calm, and he was asked if he responds when players try to trash talk him. “It really doesn’t hap- pen too much,” Leonard said. “I really can’t say it happens.” KD’S DOING OK Though Golden State’s Kevin Durant remains out at least one more game with a strained right calf, he traveled to Toronto with the Warriors to work with the training staff. Stephen Curry said his presence around the lock- er room is helpful until the two-time NBA Finals MVP can get back on the foor. “Anybody who goes through an injury like that, you kind of feel alienated because your schedule is a little different. Most of the time you’re on kind of isolation with our ath- letic training staff, putting extra hours in. Stuff starts to feel monotonous, espe- cially with the big stage of the fnals here and now,” Curry said. “So I think he’s handled that well, under- standing his time is com- ing sooner than later and he’s doing whatever he can on a daily basis to get healthy.” MAN IN THE MIDDLE The Warriors started Jordan Bell at center in Game 1 and Kerr said he thought Bell did well, but Golden State has other options. DeMarcus Cous- ins and Andrew Bogut are also in the center rotation along with Kevon Looney. “Every game is going to be different,” Kerr said. “Pretty much every game this postseason has been different at the center position, based on what we have needed. The one constant is Looney, who is going to play his 28, 30 minutes one way or the other. “What we’re always try- ing to do is mix and match, and fnd matchups and fll in those gaps with the right combinations that can help us win.” WATCH YOUR MOUTH The L.A. Clippers were fned $50,000 by the NBA on Friday for compli- mentary comments coach Doc Rivers made about Leonard during a TV ap- pearance.

I said if he’s willing to take the minimum, we would take him. Dan laughed. And I wrote a $10,000 check the next day. So I learned my lesson.

TORONTO • The Toronto Raptors are rugged and relentless, capable of pun-ishing teams in transition any time they make a mis-take.

The Golden State War-riors felt like they were seeing a version of them-selves in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and now they have to stop it.

No problem, they fig-ure, with Game 2 looming tonight (7 p.m., ABC).

“It’s first team to four, not first to one,” Golden State guard Klay Thomp-son said. “So, still a lot of basketball to be played.”

The Warriors’ 1-0 defi-cit may be unusual, but they certainly don’t seem uncomfortable. Golden State had won 12-straight Game 1s before falling 118-109 on Thursday, and the two-time defending champions hadn’t been behind in the NBA Finals since Cleveland had a 2-1 lead in 2015.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr has pointed to his team’s poor transi-tion defense in the open-er after Toronto used its quickness to score 24 fast-break points and turn the Warriors’ 17 turnovers into 17 points.

“They were getting the ball off the rim and just pushing it. Instead of crashing as hard as we did, we’ll have to make the adjustment in Game 2 and try to send more guys back,” Thompson said Saturday. “But 10 days off as well, we might have had a little cobwebs. It was just a mixture of things. But I know this: I know we’ll be better tomorrow.”

Kerr said the Raptors reminded him of his War-riors, with Pascal Siakam pushing the ball in tran-sition the way Draymond Green does. But Siakam was the far more effective player in the opener, with 32 points while Green struggled to a 2 for 9 night.

But the Warriors aren’t worried, relying on the confidence from facing just about every possible situation while making it to five straight NBA Finals.

“They got rings and they can be confident,” Raptors guard Kyle Low-ry said. “We can’t really necessarily worry about them. We have to con-tinue to worry about us. They’re going to be them and they’re going to do their thing, but for us we have to concentrate on us and focus on what we have to do.”

BETTER LEONARD?Toronto forward Kawhi

Leonard scored 23 points in the opener but shot just 5 for 14 after averag-ing 31.2 points in the first three rounds. Coach Nick

Nurse doesn’t think the All-Star forward was both-ered by a leg injury that appeared to hamper him somewhat in the Eastern Conference finals.

“I don’t think the leg trouble is much of an is-sue,” Nurse said, “and I’m expecting him to play a lot better.”

TALKING TRASHIf the Warriors want to

rattle Leonard, it will re-quire actions rather than words.

The 2014 NBA Finals MVP always appears to be calm, and he was asked if he responds when players try to trash talk him.

“It really doesn’t hap-pen too much,” Leonard said. “I really can’t say it happens.”

KD’S DOING OKThough Golden State’s

Kevin Durant remains out at least one more game with a strained right calf, he traveled to Toronto with the Warriors to work with the training staff.

Stephen Curry said his presence around the lock-er room is helpful until the two-time NBA Finals

MVP can get back on the floor.

“Anybody who goes through an injury like that, you kind of feel alienated because your schedule is a little different. Most of the time you’re on kind of isolation with our ath-letic training staff, putting extra hours in. Stuff starts to feel monotonous, espe-cially with the big stage of the finals here and now,” Curry said. “So I think he’s handled that well, under-standing his time is com-ing sooner than later and he’s doing whatever he can on a daily basis to get healthy.”

MAN IN THE MIDDLEThe Warriors started

Jordan Bell at center in Game 1 and Kerr said he thought Bell did well, but Golden State has other options. DeMarcus Cous-ins and Andrew Bogut are also in the center rotation along with Kevon Looney.

“Every game is going to be different,” Kerr said. “Pretty much every game this postseason has been different at the center position, based on what we have needed. The one

constant is Looney, who is going to play his 28, 30 minutes one way or the other.

“What we’re always try-ing to do is mix and match, and find matchups and fill in those gaps with the right combinations that can help us win.”

WATCH YOUR MOUTHThe L.A. Clippers were

fined $50,000 by the NBA on Friday for compli-mentary comments coach Doc Rivers made about Leonard during a TV ap-pearance. Kerr said he won’t fall into the same predicament, having got-ten in trouble before.

“I got fined when I was the GM of Phoenix for making a joke on ‘The Dan Patrick Show.’” Kerr said. “I think he asked me if we were interested in LeBron when LeBron was a free agent back in whatever it was that he went to Miami. I said if he’s willing to take the minimum, we would take him. Dan laughed. And I wrote a $10,000 check the next day. So I learned my lesson. I don’t comment about any other players.”
