One game can change the momentum of a series oh so quickly.
It was all doom and gloom as the Toronto Raptors returned from Cleveland facing an 0-2 series deficit in their East first round best-of-seven series against the Cavaliers. But now, a resounding victory in front of their home fans in Game 3 has given the Raptors life.
Mississauga, Ont., native RJ Barrett was magnificent, while Scottie Barnes put together the best playoff performance of his young career to lift the Raptors to victory. Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles had another impressive showing while Jamison Battle was Darko Rajaković’s wildcard with 14 quick-time points that included a perfect 4-for-4 shooting from beyond the arc.
The Raptors were finally able to get a hold of superstars James Harden and Donovan Mitchell, limiting each of them to under 20 points.
Now, on Sunday afternoon, they will have the opportunity to knot the series up at two games apiece. Here’s how and where you can watch the action unfold.
