The Toronto Raptors won their first Conference Finals game in franchise history, taking Game 3 from the Cleveland Cavaliers, 99-84.
Raptors' defensive turnaround
For the first time this postseason, the Cavaliers were held to fewer than 100 points. Cleveland was also held to under 40 percent shooting for the first time this postseason (35.4 percent).
The key for the Raptors was keeping Cleveland out of the paint. The Cavaliers scored 20 paint points after averaging 53 paint points per game in the first two games. The 20 paint points were a season low and tied for Cleveland's fewest in a game since LeBron James returned last season.
