CLEVELAND — The Toronto Raptors look to build on a two-game push when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 tonight.
Raptors forward Scottie Barnes has set the tone, averaging a series-best 25.8 points per game while taking on defensive assignments against Cavaliers stars Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.
He is the first player in franchise history to have four straight 20-point games to start a series.
The best-of-seven NBA playoff series is tied 2-2 after Toronto followed two road losses with back-to-back wins at Scotiabank Arena, including a 93-89 win Sunday.
