Wrap-Up -- This year’s Raptors are coasting towards the postseason. This year’s Cavaliers are headed for the Lottery.
But the frustrations of being absolutely clobbered in the Playoffs over the past three seasons – and having dropped 12 of their last 14 games in Cleveland – boiled over on Monday night, with the Raptors coming unglued late in the third quarter and the Wine & Gold putting together one of their best 48-minute efforts of the campaign – blowing out Toronto, 126-101, in their final meeting of the season at The Q.
The Raptors came into the contest having blown out the first two opponents of their three-game roadie, but they led for just 31 combined seconds on Monday, hitting the first bucket of the game and taking a brief one-point lead early in the second quarter.
