Draymond Green got his fourth foul with 7:11 left in the third quarter. The Golden State Warriors left him in, and the Toronto Raptors immediately took advantage.

Pascal Siakam soared past a defenseless Green in transition for a layup, and the Raptors lead 73-63 midway through the third quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Green couldn’t risk getting a fifth foul, and had no choice but to let Siakam go to the rim unbothered.

Kevon Looney and Shaun Livingston have three fouls for Golden State. Kawhi Leonard has three for Toronto and Marc Gasol got his third early in the third quarter.

Siakam leads all scorers with 22 points. Stephen Curry has 20 for the Warriors.
