Raptors sink into oblivion, lose Game 1 to the Cavaliers 115-84

It's fun to believe in the underdog narrative coming true in sports. You'd have to be a robot not to love it; underdog success stories make for a rousing experience. Case in point: the Toronto Raptors in these Eastern Conference Finals are, by every conceivable metric, quite the squad of underdogs. And the fans who believe in them are, in a word, turnt. The Raptors are now in the third round for the first time in franchise history and face their greatest challenge yet: play a bunch of games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and try not to get embarrassed.
