It might be one of the biggest mind numbing decisions ever...calling a time out when on a 10-0 run.

When Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse called timeout with 3 minutes, 5 seconds remaining and his team leading 103-97, it felt like the beginning of a championship celebration north of the border.

Toronto had just gotten 10 straight points from Kawhi Leonard to explode into the lead after trailing since the first quarter, and appeared well on its way to winning the first title for the city in more than two decades.

But then, in an instant, it wasn't.

The Golden State Warriors ripped off three straight 3-pointers -- first by Klay Thompson, then Stephen Curry and then Thompson again -- to storm back into the lead, and the Raptors missed multiple chances to tie or take the lead in the final minute, falling 106-105 on Monday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
