The Toronto Raptors list of walking wounded grows longer by the day. The lineup facing the feisty Cavs featured only two regular starters. Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam, who jumped center, were joined by Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Delon Wright.
Fortunately Cleveland’s virtually non-existent frontcourt was further damaged by the absence of boards beast Tristan Thompson and John Henson. Kevin Love, the best of all of them, won’t be back for weeks.
As a result, the Raptors were able to attack the paint remorselessly, piling up an absurd 66 points there.
