A post-season run which appeared so full of promise 10 days ago has crashed and burned. The Toronto Raptors collapsed part-way through the second quarter of last night’s Game 4 in Cleveland, and the Cavaliers ran away and hid. Their abuse of the visitors continued in Q3, leading to a G League-grade final 12 minutes.
LeBron James didn’t need nearly the playing time or drama called for in Games 1 and 3. He dominated the Raptors once again, pouring in 29 points and dishing out 11 dimes. Kevin Love, who has re-established his superstar credentials, was again his wingman with 23.
