Their 18-point lead had evaporated in front of them, less than two minutes into the fourth quarter.
Suddenly, the Cleveland Cavaliers were coming straight at the Toronto Raptors, with the odds against beating a LeBron James-led team weighing on the Raptors as heavily as ever.
The stars were out in full force, with James looking for a 3-1 series lead and nearing a triple-double trying to get there. Kyle Lowry (35 points) and DeMar DeRozan (32) had different plans, of course, leading the Raptors to a 105-99 win that in all reality kept their season alive.
