Some Raptors fans chose to enter Jurassic Park as early as possible Wednesday morning, while others were up late into the night, plotting against the Warriors. These Raps fans posted up outside the Warriors hotel and unleashed a barrage of fireworks at 3:00 a.m.

Good luck trying to sleep through that.
Lighting fireworks outside an opposing team's hotel is, rather surprisingly, something sports fans do pretty regularly, especially ahead of a big game. With Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, what better time to try and rattle the stars of Golden State, and giving the Raptors an advantage, even if it is minimal.
With the entire nation of Canada anxiously awaiting the country's first-ever NBA Finals game, Raptors fans are doing all they can to give the underdogs a boost.
