Toronto Raptors blow lead, lose shootout to Cleveland Cavaliers

If the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers play seven more games like this, fans certainly will get their share of excitement. Wednesday’s contest was a back-and-forth battle with both teams filling up the scoreboard and knocking down shots at an alarming rate. Toronto shot 54-percent from the field and 44-percent from deep, meanwhile Cleveland hit greater than 60-percent of shots from the field AND from three.

If you are a stickler for defense, then you probably turned the game off after the first quarter. After quarter number one, the Cavaliers led the Raptors 42-38. The Raptors made six three-pointers, shot above 60-percent from the field and still were they second most powerful offense on the court.
