TORONTO (97.1 The Ticket) -- The first ever international NBA Finals could come to an end on Monday night.
The Raptors, leading the Warriors 3-1, have the hopes of a nation on their shoulders, looking to close things out at home, giving them their first title in franchise history and the country its first major North American championship since the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Blue Jays both won titles in 1993.
Suffice to say, Raptors fans were pretty pumped before the game, and they showed it with a thunderous version of the Canadian national anthem, "O Canada"
