Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors

The Raptors outsmarted the Cavs in the final quarter. If you’re into the black-and-gold and don’t want to spend $65 on a t-shirt the Raptors will be giving out free OVO-themed sweatshirts and headbands to a limited amount of fans attending tonight’s game.

The Toronto Raptors are 10-6 so far this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors (+1.5, 198.5) The Toronto Raptors looked strong in back-to-back wins to close out their five-game road trip but take a big jump in competition when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Perhaps next time the Raptors will shorten their pre-game show. DeRozan, one of the franchise pillars, still takes a lot of shots and misses a lot of shots; the Raptors’ ceiling might stay where it is as long as he remains one of the two best players.

“We’re just trying to create moments for the city”, said the 29-year old in between fan screams. It is either that you have got it or you don’t.

“I thought our guys played hard, we ran out of gas”, said Blatt following the game. But the Congolese big man and president of what he refers to as #Biznation (no, really) is proving his worth as a starter in place of Jonas Valanciunas.

“Like I said before, you try to be that gnat on that summer day, when you’re eating that barbecue, you know what I’m talking about?” said DeMarre Carroll, who was tasked with the tough job of guarding James for a good chunk of the night.

LeBron James led Cleveland (11-3) with 24 points, eight assists and six rebounds, but the offense once again was run through Kevin Love. We have to hold each other more accountable, we have to play better, and we will.

He added that the point guard was able to keep this pace and tempo.

Carroll scored 12 points, while Luis Scola had 15 points and seven rebounds.

If movie trilogies have taught us anything, it is that Wednesday evening’s Drake Night 3 was always bound to be the bloated, light-on-plot chapter of the series. “He contributed six rebounds and now stands at 25,298 career points”.

Delon Wright made his 905 debut on Wednesday night at the Hershey Centre and quickly made the most of his opportunity and exposure. Wright, who was selected 20th overall in the 2015 draft, has played in four games totaling 10 minutes for Toronto…. The Raptors’ next game is Saturday at the Washington Wizards.
