Those mental lapses, that loss of concentration that had mainly disappeared for most of this season once again bit the Toronto Raptors in the collective butt in one of the most important games of the season. The Raptors' DeMar DeRozan is helped up off the court after being decked in the first half against the Cavs on Thursday night. “We make a game out of it for the first half and we do some uncharacteristic things,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “I think we made some defensive adjustments, we changed our defence a little,” Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said. A 4 ½ minute stretch of the second quarter was the ruination of the Raptors here Thursday night, a period that allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to lock up and eventually put away Game 2 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference final.
