No Raptors game on the big screen downtown Monday night

Too windy to inflate the giant screen the game is shown on

The city has pulled the plug on showing Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Carden Street Monday night.

While the rain subsided, it was the wind that would have created issues with the inflatable screen that the game is shown on, the city said in a tweet around 8:15 p.m.

"Sorry everyone. It's too windy to invfate the outdoor screen so tonight's event is cancelled. Please find a cozy indoor place to cheer on the Raptors," the tweet said.

Last Friday's showing of Game 4 drew about 2,000 people on a beautiful summer night.

The Toronto Raptors can win their first ever NBA title with a win over the Golden State Warriors.
