IT WAS OVER WHEN

J.R. Smith connected on a 3-pointer with 4:09 remaining to put the Cavaliers ahead by 19. During the next timeout, both teams swapped out their starters to finish the game, with Cleveland picking up a 108-89 victory and a 2-0 series lead.

STARTER SWITCH-UP

Raptors head coach Dwane Casey inserted Luis Scola into the starting lineup while moving Patrick Patterson to the bench. The move was an attempt to get back to the reserve lineup that was so successful during the regular season, that has been affected since Bismack Biyombo moved into the starting lineup after Jonas Valanciunas’ injury.
