Game 3 Turning Point: LeBron James shoots the basketball, and it goes through the basketball hoop

There were a few points throughout the Raptors’ Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers where you could say the game “swung”. The game was an uphill battle from the very start for the Raptors. They trailed throughout the entire first half, but they battled hard to keep things close. Then, in the minutes approaching halftime, an and-one basket for Serge Ibaka was waved off. The Raptors inbound resulted in a missed Ibaka three point shot, and on the other end Kevin Love hit a three of his own.

What was potentially a six-point swing took the lead from a very reasonable six to a gross feeling eleven.
