This is a Free #NBA play on the Toronto #Raptors.

Nobody gave the Raptors much of a chance at winning this series prior to Game 1, and after Cleveland mopped the flour with them in the opener, most were expecting a sweep. There's no denying that Toronto is out-gunned, and Cleveland is the more talented team, that should win the series. The fact is, Toronto finished the regular season with an almost identical record (1 game back), and won two of three in the season series. The Raptors owned the boards in Game 3, with Bizmack Biyombo pulling in 26 rebounds (the most in a playoff game since 1984). Kyle Lowry played well and DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points on 12-of-24 shooting. Toronto played well early in Game 2, before falling appart just a few minutes before the break. They were dominant in the first half of Game 3, and still they are the underdog at home tonight in Game 4. I expect a better effort from Cleveland here, but I still think Toronto plus the points is the better bet.

Take TOR.
