TORONTO, Ont. (WKBW) — At just under 100 miles away by car, Game One of the NBA Finals in Toronto on Thursday will be the closest the series has come to the Queen City since 1951, when the Finals were played in Rochester.

The historic series between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors also marks the first time an NBA Finals game will be played in Canada.
