At first glance, with an 8-0 playoff record, the Cavaliers appear in full juggernaut mode.
Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey said his team ran into a “buzzsaw” in the Eastern Conference semifinals and called the Cavs “a well-oiled machine.”
LeBron James is shooting 47 percent from 3-point range, a career playoff-best, and 56 percent from the field, second-highest in his 12 postseason appearances.
The Cavs rank first among playoff teams in field-goal percentage (49), 3-point percentage (43.4) and offensive efficiency (117) and second in scoring (114.5). Their defensive efficiency (105.9) stands fourth among playoff qualifiers after finishing the regular season tied for 22nd.
