The first NBA Finals outside the U.S. have tipped off, with Jordan Bell doing the honors for Golden State.
DeMarcus Cousins was active and available after recovering from a torn left quadriceps, but coach Steve Kerr opted to go with Bell as his starting center — or centre, as it’s spelled in Toronto. Kerr says he expects he will have to use Cousins in shorter stints in his first game since getting hurt in the first round.
