The Raptors were down just two, 79-77, going into the fourth quarter last night. Things were somehow going their way, despite a woeful shooting performance (43.7% from the floor, 2-of-18 from three), as the Cavs looked totally disinterested in giving much of an effort at all. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were planning their post game activities on King West and LeBron was going through the motions with the bench unit.
DeMar DeRozan kept the Raps afloat in the third quarter, and as the only one consistently creating offence, it seemed totally bizarre that Dwane Casey would stick with his usual rotation and give DeRozan a spell to begin the fourth, especially with Lowry sidelined.
