The Raptors were plus-14 when Pickering product Cory Joseph, left, was on the floor in Game 3. “I thought Cory did a much better job of holding his position and holding his ground,” Casey said of his on-court work. In between Dwane Casey’s unprompted, elongated critique of referees —that came to any question he was asked about Saturday night’s win — was some subtle praise for Raptors backup point guard Cory Joseph. The Pickering product and the sole Canadian on the Raptors played a huge role in the Raptors 99-84 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Joseph brought 31:17 of poise with the ball in his hands and just as much fire on the defensive end.
