"Amazing! That's one thing I'd say! Had he made that shot he would have killed his defensive player mode... the fact he blocked that shot, Warriors baby YEAHHHH!"

This was quite the contrast to the solemn faces and subdued response from Raptors supporters after Game 5 in Toronto. Billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson said, "If you come from America, you must have been happy with the result!"

However, nearly everyone agreed it was the ultimate match-up.
