Cavs rest LeBron, finish collapse with 98-83 loss to Raptors
CLEVELAND — They staggered to the finish line, falling flat and looking nothing like champions.
It’s time for the Cavaliers to get up. It’s playoff time.
LeBron James watched in street clothes as Jonas Valanciunas dropped his first career 3-pointer and the Toronto Raptors closed the regular season with a 98-83 win on Wednesday night over Cleveland, which sat James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love so they’re playoff ready.
The past few weeks have been a challenging stretch for the Cavs, who closed the regular season going 10-14 since March 1. They head into the post-season looking very vulnerable.
