Once again, the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled over the Toronto Raptors, taking a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
As you can see in the win probability chart below, the Cavaliers were in control from start to finish. According to ESPN’s in-game win probability, the Cavaliers had an 89 percent chance to win entering the second quarter and at least 84 percent the rest of the game. Their win probability hit 99 percent with just over three minutes left in the third quarter and never dipped below that the rest of the way.
Since Game 5 of last year’s NBA Finals, the Cavaliers have won nine straight playoff games.
