Drake’s Old Antics Don’t Work Against LeBron James & Cavs

Before the game, Toronto vowed to be more physical against the Cavs. They looked briefly capable of answering with a win after letting the Cleveland Cavaliers dominate them in the first two games of their Eastern Conference semi-final series. Here’s everything you need to know including Cavaliers vs. Raptors Game 3 live stream with the Watch ESPN app and more.

For now, the Raptors’ best hope is regression to the mean.

Down 0-3 against a dominant LeBron James led Cavaliers team, will Lowry be back for Game 4 Sunday?

As it stands now, it looks like the way to get past LeBron James in the East is to coax him into retirement.

“It’s still pretty sore”, Lowry said.

“We were not giving up but they were better than us”, Valanciunas said. “Those guys stepped up for us when we needed it”. James has toyed with the Raptors to this point, scoring 39 points on just 14 shots in Game 2, a performance that left frustrated Toronto star DeMar DeRozan to ask for some assistance.

So far in the series, they can’t stop the Cavs while failing miserably at the other end to get any kind of offence of their own.

The Raptors were up a point with 90 seconds left in the third quarter, having outplayed the Cavaliers for a long stretch when the shooting disparity between the teams showed the most.

“It’s something we’ve done, we’ve knocked down threes all year and for some reason it’s escaped us right now”, Casey said. If Kyle Lowry leaves in free agency, the Raptors will need help to score.

Spurs 103, Rockets 92: LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points and seven rebounds as San Antonio took back home-court advantage with a road win in Game 3 for a 2-1 series lead.

James also became the fourth player with 300 career 3-pointers in the postseason, joining Ray Allen (385), Reg-gie Miller (320) and Manu Ginobili (312). DeRozan, coming off a five-point night in Game 2, is incredibly frustrated by both his own struggles and that of his team. “That’s the most frustrating part is just trying to keep the patience, and play and just get this feeling off us”.

Cavs forward Kevin Love, who had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and point guardKyrie Irving, who had 16 points but shot just 7-of-21, did not play in the fourth.

Jonas Valanciunas added 19 points for the Raptors, while Norman Powell chipped in with 13 and Serge Ibaka had 12. Lowry is the team’s best three-point shooter and its second-leading scorer and his absence was a factor.

Charity Stripe: The Cavs shot 85.7 percent from the free throw line, hitting 24-of-28. The Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, and Atlanta Hawks have been near-contenders that ultimately couldn’t get past LeBron James.

Chairman of the Boards: The Cavs dominated the boards, 58-33.

That was nine points in 77 seconds. The Cavs went on to clinch the series in six games en route to winning the National Basketball Association championship.

THE Cleveland Cavaliers maintained its fine run, defeating the Raptors, 115-94, in Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Friday in Toronto (Saturday, Manila time). In those third quarter minutes Lowry played with the wounded ankle, it was clear he was a step slow or tentative with his movements.

The Cavaliers have a chance to complete a series sweep in Game 4 Sunday afternoon at the Air Canada Centre.
