In the wake of perhaps Toronto’s most entertaining basketball game of the young season, the Raptors travelled to an old house-of-horrors to clash with a familiar foe. Unfortunately, this iteration of Raptors/Cavaliers lacked the spark (LeBron James) that made previous iterations so compelling. Entertainment value aside, Toronto did what was necessary to improve to 20-4 on the season, including an impressive 10-2 on the road.
It was the sort of game you don’t mind stepping away from for a few minutes because you ordered-in Chinese food for dinner (theoretically, of course).
After an inefficient first quarter for Kawhi Leonard, the superstar forward settled into a groove before halftime, going into the break with 17 points.
