This wasn’t supposed to be the way for the Warriors and their fans to say goodbye to Oracle Arena.

Not only did the Warriors lose for the second straight time at home with Friday night’s stunning 105-92 NBA Finals Game 4 loss, the lasting image of their fabled building may be a sea of red.

A couple thousand Raptors fans stuck around well after Toronto moved within one win of its first NBA title and serenaded themselves with chants of “We The North” and a raucous rendition of O Canada.

That’s right, after 47 seasons the place they call “Roaracle” was reduced to serving as the backdrop for a Raptors party.

The Raptors fans’ partisan display in Oakland even took Toronto coach Nick Nurse by surprise.

“Our fans travel well in the regular season. We get this a lot on the road,” Nurse said afterward. “It surprises me a little in the Finals because I don’t think tickets are easy to get for these games.”

Game 5 is Monday in Toronto and if Golden State can’t beat the Raptors, the Larry O’Brien Trophy will head up North and we would have seen the last of the Warriors at Oracle.

Pure frustration loss. Disgusting. — Andy Liu (@AndyKHLiu) June 8, 2019

The realization that the Warriors will close down Oracle without another title was hard for many fans to deal with. Especially some longtime season ticket holders in the upper region of the arena.

Really emotional game for a lot of the fans in the upper deck. This man has had season tickets at this arena for 15 years. At the start of the fourth quarter his daughter turned to him and said “This can’t be it, this can’t be it.” pic.twitter.com/E6R5QDoi91 — Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) June 8, 2019

Friday night’s Warriors loss certainly brought a new, sobering reality home for their fans.

Raptors clearly the better team this series thru 4 games. We haven’t seen anything this series that gives much optimism for a Toronto letdown. W’s outmanned and outgunned at the moment. — warriorsworld (@warriorsworld) June 8, 2019

The Warriors are done. It’d be a true miracle if they come back and win the championship. — Derek⚜️🎭 (@Lundizzo) June 8, 2019

It would be cool if the warriors came back from 3-1 to exorcise those demons but… It ain’t happening. They’re done. — jenny (@jp_on_rye) June 8, 2019
