Raptors Used the Wrong Bridge in Graphic Tweeted Ahead of Game 3
By Scott Rogust
After a long break, the NBA Finals are back in action for Game 3 on Wednesday night between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors. With both teams having one win apiece, the series now makes it's way to the Bay Area, with the Warriors looking to take advantage of home court.
Prior to the game, the Raptors' official Twitter account posted a photo of their arrival to Oakland. While it was an awesome photo to get Raptors fans pumped up, there was one glaring issue.
They used the Golden Gate Bridge instead of the Bay Bridge.

What's the big deal, you're asking? Well, the Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco with Marin County, Calif. The Bay Bridge would actually take you to Oracle Arena from San Francisco.
But worry not, the Raptors made it to the arena right on time, and were not "We the Lost," like Twitter notoriously dubbed them.
We the Lost? The #Raptors tried to trash talk the #Warriors by posting a photo on the Golden Gate Bridge ahead of Game 3. But #DubNation was quick to point out... they were on the wrong bridge! #DubsOn7 https://t.co/bjjPdxYy8h

Look, the Golden Gate Bridge is the more recognizable landmark when it comes to the West Coast. It was a blunder on the Raptors part, and now, they're paying the consequences.
