Toronto has to win Game 4 to make this matter, and Cleveland seems confident they’ll be fine. You wouldn’t have any idea that in the regular season Toronto won 56 games, and Cleveland won 57. Maybe it won’t happen again, but the Raptors, with energy and aggressiveness and shotmaking, made it happen once. And then the Raptors got the Cavaliers to revert to some of the habits they had in the regular season, before they became a move-the-ball-and-share-everything juggernaut. DeMarre Carroll and the Raptors knocked the Cavs out of their comfort zone in Game 3, but replicating the feat might be tougher.
