Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 133-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
One — Chill: The Cavaliers are pathetic. They have won two of their last 17 games and they barely put on an NBA-level product. The only Cavaliers player to show effort was Tristan Thompson, who was rewarded with a slew of post-ups at the end of a fourth quarter blowout against G-League competition — likely in an attempt to inflate his numbers for an impending trade. The Raptors raced out to a 37-19 advantage midway through the first quarter and had it on cruise control from there.
