The Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling in their first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors. The Cavaliers easily handled the Raptors 115-105 in Game 2 at Rocket Arena to go up 2-0.
Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland in scoring Tuesday with 30 points, while James Harden dropped 28 points and Evan Mobley added 25 points.
Now the series heads to Toronto for Game 3, giving the Raptors plenty of opportunities to get back into it with a win at home in Scotiabank Arena. Scottie Barnes was the leading scorer for Toronto in their last game, dropping 26 points in Game 2, while RJ Barrett was the top contributor in Game 1 with 24 points. The Raptors will need a full team effort to get a win on Thursday night.
One key matchup that might significantly impact Toronto's trajectory is Brandon Ingram vs. Dean Wade. At 6-foot-8, Ingram is usually used to rising above his defenders for clean mid-range shots. Much like Kevin Durant, Ingram is a skilled assassin in that area of the court, often making shots regardless of his defenders' contesting. However, Wade's physical and aggressive strategy to deny Ingram the ball has challenged the star forward. Ingram scored 17 points in Game 1 but had only seven points in Game 2. If he is able to bounce back in Game 3, Ingram might be able to contribute enough to get Toronto a win at home.
Game 3 of the Raptors vs. Cavs is scheduled for Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena.
The game will be broadcast on the designated sports network, which varies by region; check local listings for details.
