I think that had as much to do with the loss than anything Toronto did...
Lowry and Joseph are better defenders than anyone Irving has played in earlier rounds and Love has shot pretty badly in playoffs so far when someone has actually guarded him. Toronto has done much better job in limiting the amount of open three pointers than Detroit or Atlanta did.

That's fine. But 4 - 28 is 14%.
Even a 30 - 35% from the field changes that game significantly. Considering Irving was 23 - 39 (59%) in the first two games... I think it's safe to say he's found ways around that vaunted defense in the past.
I'm going to issue a guarantee: Toronto will not win another game. And I don't think they will cover the 6 points there are getting tonight. Cleveland by about 14.

Cool, I admire the gutsy guarantee, although I don't agree. My advice if to leave this game alone...2 of the Cavs' Big 3 haven't shown that they are ready for a competitive playoff game in front of a hostile crowd.
Draymond fined and his Flagrant upgraded to a 2. He has now racked up plenty of T's and I believe is a flagrant away from getting suspended. Can he contain himself a bit? If the over/under on him getting suspending this postseason is 1. I'm tempted to take the over.
Finally a close playoff game...what a game going on in Toronto! Raptors led by 12 and looked like they were going to coast to a victory, but then they had a bad break...Love twisted an ankle. With Love and Irving on the bench, the Cavs are playing like a completely different team. This could be a great finish!
