Cleveland is up 2-0 in the series over the Raptors but head to Toronto for a Game 3 all or nothing after a 115-105 Cavaliers Game 2 win.
Donovan Mitchell (30) and James Harden (28) combined for 58 points in Game 2's, 115-105 win. Both the Raptors and Cavaliers shot over 50% from the field, but below 35% from deep. Cleveland is the only team in the East that has yet to lost a game in the playoffs.
Toronto and everyone knows the chances of coming back from a 0-3 hole, so this is the last chance for the Raptors to make this a series. The Raptors got 48 combined points from Scottie Barnes (26) and Brandon Ingram (22), but the three other starters totaled 12 points.
