CLEVELAND -- Lineup changes, defensive schemes, game plans -- none of it matters if LeBron James is hitting 3-pointers.
James had another sensational performance Wednesday, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a resounding 125-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors to take a 2-0 series lead. It was a reminder of last season’s Eastern Conference finals, when the Cavs took Games 1 and 2 at home by a combined 50 points. They’ve outscored the Raptors by 33 points so far in this series as it moves to Toronto.
Making things more challenging for the underdog Raptors is star guard Kyle Lowry having sprained his left ankle early in the third quarter.
