The Toronto Raptors have won their first NBA title after defeating defending champions the Golden State Warriors in a nail-biting end to game six. The Raptors overcame the Warriors 114-110 to take the best-of-seven series 4-2, despite Golden State coming close to forcing a seventh game. With the teams a point apart in the final second, Kawhi Leonard - who was named the finals' MVP - hooped three free throws to lift the Raptors clear and claim their first NBA title in their 24-year history. The victory denied a seventh game which could have given the Warriors a seventh title. 37 floors up and we can hear the entire city of #Toronto erupting in celebration after the @Raptors won the championship.
