Published June 13, 2019 at 4:12 pm
After an agonizing loss in game 5 (it was just one point!), the Raptors are still fighting for the ultimate NBA title against the Golden State Warriors.
And tonight could be the night that they win the whole thing and become unofficial Kings in the North.
For those who want to catch the game with thousands of other fans, Game 6 will be broadcast tonight on the big screens at Mississauga Celebration Square (or Jurassic Park West).
If the Raptors win tonight, the city will be broadcasting the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy ceremony following the game.
As long-suffering Canadian sports fans know, the Raptors are making their first NBA Finals appearance. They have already won three games and need one more to win to become the champions.
Peel police estimate that more than 20,000 people have shown up to watch the games at Jurassic Park West and that more than 5,000 celebrated at Jurassic Square during the last four games.
