Umm, what just happened? The second place Toronto Raptors faced off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game that should have been an easy win. Except it wasn’t. The Cavaliers didn’t get the “just quit” memo and instead came out with a fire, leading by four at the half.
Once the second half came along, we all expected the Raptors to snap out of it, and finally beat the brakes off the Cavaliers. That didn’t happen either. Cleveland won the third quarter by 10 points and ended up blowing out the Raptors by 25 points!
Sure, Toronto was on the back half of a road back-to-back, and Cleveland was hot from three.
