TORONTO -- When Channing Frye looks at the faces of the Toronto Raptors, beaming with confidence after tying the Eastern Conference finals series with the Cleveland Cavaliers 2-2 following a stirring 105-99 win on Monday, he can’t but help be reminded of being in the same spot six years ago.
Back in the 2010 Western Conference finals, it was Frye’s underdog Phoenix Suns team that bounced back to tie the heavily favored Los Angeles Lakers -- led Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol -- at 2-2, after losing the first two games of the series.
