In Game 1, the Toronto Raptors let their lead slip away late in the 4th quarter, couldn’t close it out and allowed LeBron James to sneak away with the victory in overtime.
Game 2 was a bit different. It was a tale of two halves. They led after the first quarter and halftime. After that, the Cleveland Cavaliers took over and never looked back. Everyone was hitting their shots. King James kept his foot on their necks and silenced the entire arena.
Drake wasn’t saying shit.
“Get off Me”
James finished the game two rebounds shy of a triple double with 43 points, 14 assists and 8 rebounds. Kevin Love also showed up and dropped 31 points and had 11 boards. Other players in double figures for the Cavs: J.R. Smith with 15 points, George Hill with 13 points and Jeff Green with 14 points off the bench.
While DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry held their own with 24 points and 21 points respectively, nobody else stepped up for the Raptors besides Fred VanVleet, who had 14 points off the bench.
The worst part is the series now heads to Cleveland where it might be another sweep out of the playoffs for Toronto. In the year they had the most opportunity.
