INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of their second-round series Monday in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference finals -- only the Cavs' opponent won't be so familiar, according to Kevin Love.
The complexion of the series will be similar to the six-game bout the Cavs won last May, with Cleveland still led by its three All-Stars in Love, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and Toronto still led by its All-Star backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, but Love says the addition of Serge Ibaka changes things for Toronto.
