The unknown fan who sent flowers to the Warriors apologizing for Toronto Raptors fans cheering Kevin Durant's Achilles injury might want to amend their accompanying note.
A video surfaced Twitter on Tuesday of fans in Toronto swearing at and taunting Stephen Curry's parents, Dell and Sonya, outside of a hotel in the city. As a warning, the video below contains foul language.

The footage only adds to what's been a contentious couple of days regarding fan behavior. During Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Scotiabank Arena on Monday, some Raptors fans in the building cheered as Durant was hurt and others waved good-bye after he needed to be helped to the locker room. Some Raptors fans outside of the arena were also caught on camera cheering when Durant went down, too, and the reaction at Scotiabank Arena even caught the Warriors off-guard.
Of course, fans in the aforementioned videos don't speak for everyone following a team, much less an entire city. Unfortunately, just about every fanbase has its share of supporters who takes it too far, even if it isn't visible surrounding the sport's biggest stage.

But that doesn't make it any more excusable.
