Kyle Lowry scored 43 points, including the game-winning jumper with 3.9 seconds left, lifting the Toronto Raptors to a 99-97 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in a battle of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, giving the Raptors an 11th straight home victory.
Klay Thompson is the NBA’s No. 1 Harry Potter fan
Klay Thompson is arguably one of the top two shooters in the NBA. He’s apparently also in the discussion for the top Harry Potter fan in the NBA.
The Golden State Warriors played in Orlando on Thursday which gave Thompson and his teammates Harrison Barnes and Leandro Barbosa the chance to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Barnes said he was a big fan of the movies and books while Barbosa had no idea what they were before attending. Thompson? Well, Thompson seemed downright giddy to be there.

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsIsh Smith gave John Wall a rough 5 seconds
That might be the worst five seconds John Wall has all season. Ish Smith won the battle at both ends of the floor with an athletic one-handed steal on the defensive end.

Not bad for a guy who was struggling to find a spot at the end of a bench not long ago.

Read Article >Warriors respond to criticism with jokes
The Warriors have spent this season racking up wins, and as they’ve done so others have racked up opinions about just how good Stephen Curry and his team are. Former NBA player Stephen Jackson may have offered up the oddest take on the team when he said his 2006-07 Warriors team would beat the current version.
That Golden State team was good and very fun. But, that seems like an outrageous thing to say about a team that is currently 52-5. The Warriors have had to listen to the critics all season. They are bad for basketball. They couldn’t hold a candle to the 1995-96 Bulls, etc.
