The Toronto Raptors seem a bit confused about their Bay Area geography. Before Wednesday’s Game 3, the team tweeted a photo saying that they’ve “Crossed the bridge” and were ready to battle the Warriors. The problem? The bridge in the photo is the Golden Gate Bridge, one they absolutely were not crossing as they made their way from San Francisco to Oakland before game time.

The bridge they meant to use is of course the Bay Bridge, connecting Oakland to San Francisco. To the Raptors credit, they left the tweet up despite being roasted by multiple outlets.
Ultimately, Toronto got the last laugh, acknowledging their mistake in a postgame tweet after beating the Warriors soundly in Game 3.

At least they know which bridge to take home now.
