The Cleveland Cavaliers had no issues defeating the Toronto Raptors in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

156. 89. 81. Final. 108

At this point, it’s really beginning to look like the Toronto Raptors are just happy to be here.

After getting blown out by the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the series, the Raptors came out and put up a better fight early, but that really didn’t amount to much against a team that showed that they are much better than their competition.

The Cavaliers had some chances to blow this thing open in the first quarter, but the Raptors had a little bit of a rally and made it close. That didn’t last long, as LeBron James engineered a run at the end of the second quarter that really opened the floodgates.

It was yet another brilliant night for James in the playoffs. He had a triple-double, but what made his night so great was the easy time he had getting a triple double.

It helped that the likes of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were hitting the shots that James provided for them. Kyle Lowry really struggled to shoot the ball for the Raptors and without him providing offense on the floor, Toronto stood no chance of making this a game.

By the end of the third quarter, this game was over and the Cavaliers coasted to a win in the fourth quarter, to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. They still have yet to lose in the postseason.
