On a night when Kyle Lowry was out, a lot was going to have to go right for the Raptors to win Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. And a lot did, until it didn’t.
Two players in particular stepped up in this one and played very well.
First and foremost, DeMar DeRozan had a fantastic scoring night. He totalled 37 points on 23 shots in 40 minutes, without turning the ball over once. His assist total was low, but with so many players missing shots, such is life.
