Everyone knew it had to be coming. It was just a matter of when.
The answer? At the end of Game 1.
Many anticpated that noted courtside Toronto Raptors fan Drake would have an exchange of words with a Golden State Warriors player, and in all likelihood it would be the two-time reigning champions' biggest trash talker -- Draymond Green.
And the fans got exactly what they wanted as the Warriors walked off the floor after a 118-109 defeat, marking the first time during their five straight trips to the NBA Finals they begin the series down 1-0.
It appeared Drake called Green "trash" as a grinning Steph Curry helped usher his teammate away.
Pascal Siakam led the way with 34 points for the Raptors, who made a clear statement they could actually foil the Warriors' bid for a three-peat.
Will there be any more Drake-involved altercations throughout the series? Of course there will be.
