Friday night’s thriller in Toronto featured eight ties and one lead-change. And that one was all that mattered.
Trailing for most of the night, the Cavaliers clawed their way back time after time, finally getting an opportunity to take the lead on Darius Garland’s two free throws with 4.8 seconds to play in regulation.

Toronto was clinging to a one-point lead with 10.
