The Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers came to an agreement to take part in a communal activity that only briefly resembled basketball. The Raptors led this one pretty much wire to wire, never relinquishing an early lead that was established by a lineup that was closer to what we’ll see in the playoffs than what the Cavaliers put out. Let’s just say I’m glad I signed up to recap this game. Easiest write up of my life.
With the Cavaliers resting Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, and Kevin Love, this looked very much like the glorified scrimmage we all expected.
