James Hits Another Buzzer-Beater To Propel Cavs Over Raptors

in #sports • 6 years ago

Eight seconds left in regulation, and tied ballgame. After an inbound from the opponent’s court, LeBron James goes coast-to-coast and hit the buzzer-beating off-the-glass floater to give the Cleveland Cavaliers a 3-0 edge over the Toronto Raptors. Final score 105-103.

LeBron finished with 38 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Kevin Love had a monster double-double with 21 points in 7-14 shooting and grabbed 16 rebounds. Kyle Korver added 18 points, including four 3-pointers for the Cavaliers.

Kyle Lowry scored 27 points in an efficient 9-13 shooting, but didn’t get enough help from his co-All-Star teammate, DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan had a bad shooting night, he finished with only 8 points and played only 28 minutes. OG Anunoby is the second highest point man for the Toronto Raptors with 18 points.

Again, the Toronto Raptors are on the brink of elimination against the Cavs for 3 straight years. The Cavalies swept the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semis last season, and will try to do it again on Monday night ET in game 5 of this series.

    Tough game for the raptors they cut the lead down to single digits then tied it only to lose and go down 0-3 to the Cavs in the final seconds of regulation. Lebron is playing fantastically, but even more Kevin Love seems to be finally stepping back into his role as an all star after breaking his hand in March. Good to see him playing so well after a forgettable performance in the round 1 versus the Indiana Pacers. Great post!

      Yeah. Kevin Love is giving LeBron much needed help in the second round.
