The race for the number one-seed just got a little more interesting on Monday night. The Toronto Raptors are losers of back-to-back games, four of their last six, and now have turned what figured to be a benign finish to the season, into five game thriller.
Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers was perhaps the most disappointing of the bunch. Cleveland has won their past two games against Toronto and the bully of the East is seemingly gaining more confidence with each passing day.
The game started off well, Toronto big-men Jonas Valanciunas and Serge Ibaka were aggressive to start and as a result scored the game’s first seven points.
