Raptors clowned on Twitter for geographical fail in graphic
Well, this is awkward.
In preparation for Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, the Toronto Raptors tweeted an image in which their players are standing on the Golden Gate Bridge to signify the trip to Oracle Arena.
Crossed the bridge. Ready for battle. #WeTheNorth | #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/WHDkqIXPe6

Unfortunately, it's actually the Bay Bridge you cross to get to Oracle, not the Golden Gate Bridge.
Twitter users had some fun at the Raptors' expense for the blunder.
Wrong bridge. It’s going to take a while, but you can take the Richmond bridge from there or a ferry to Jack London Square. https://t.co/7UbNfeR8Hs

Our model needs the @Raptors to win tonight and they're apparently going on some sort of wine tour in Sonoma County? https://t.co/PeOo0JvXV6
