I missed most of the third quarter ... Cavs leading 91-83 to end the frame.
It doesn't look like either team started to play any defense yet.

Cleveland has an eFG% of 65.5%
Toronto has an eFG% of 57.1%
Both teams are getting terrific looks at the rim and hitting their shots.

Toronto's eight missed free throws (11-19 for 57%) is the difference in the score.
Cleveland pounding the Raptors on the boards -- 32-19 -- six offensive rebounds versus 15 defensive rebounds on the Raps glass (71% defensive rebounding). Cavs have pulled down 26 defensive rebounds versus 4 offensive rebounds by Toronto (86% defensive rebounding). No offensive rebounding from the Raps.
Main difference for the large margin is that Toronto has taken more shots (FTs, TOs) and is hitting less of their shots, allowing the Cavs to build up a massive advantage on the backboards ... but Cleveland have been out-rebounding the Raptors thoroughly anyway.

Nice 9-0 run from the Raptors to start the fourth.
I'm very happy with what I've seen from the Raptors tonight. They're clearly a major matchup problem for the Cavs and look capable of giving them a rough playoff series. I like how they've hung around in this game and consistently asked questions of the Cavs.

Bargnani should post Jawad Williams. Williams doesn't have the length or bulk to defend him down low.

Horrible cut off the ball by Williams. He took away the baseline.
LeBron James had the whole right hand side of the court to work with and an open baseline. He was against Hedo out beyond the three point line at a 45 degree angle. That drive was ripe for the taking ... until Williams made a bone headed cut and screwed up the spacing.

On another note ... Jawad Williams continues to prove that he's not a rotation caliber player in this league + is a highly questionable 13th-15th man who may not belong in the league to begin with.
Cleveland badly needs to add someone who can provide more quickness and athleticism to that front line. They need to address this weakness.
