"We're in a funk. Every single time we come in here to practise". Jordan's talent would improve Cleveland's effectiveness near the rim, considering he's averaging 11.8 points, 14.9 rebounds and 1.0 block this season. According to Sportsnet's Chris Black, over the past 20 years, 10 teams have finished the regular season in the top four in both categories. LeBron downplayed that comment by suggesting the Cavaliers simply need to get back to "playing ball the right way". "I think the guys really responded well". Through the first three quarters, Golden State gave up 18 points on nine turnovers.

It was just another act in their twos "chippy" history. Three-pointers continued to be the difference, with Toronto going 8 of 15 from beyond the arc and Cleveland making 2-of-8 attempts.

Stephenson did play well, scoring 16 points and adding 11 rebounds off the bench. James didn't like and had to be separated.

Even when there was only seconds left, Stephenson was still at it.

He baited LeBron James into a late technical foul. The Pacers used a timeout after the quick 7-0 spurt.

Sometimes, the Raptors have shown that they can get off to strong starts against a team like Cleveland but there have been times where they let the foot off the gas and the game gets away from them. Down the stretch, things got a bit odd.

Ultimately it didn't cost them.

"He's a great player", Stephenson said.

"I got the job on October 10 and went to a season-ticket holder event on October 15 and I wasn't even allowed to tell anybody because they hadn't put the press release out yet", he said. That was the matchup to watch over the final eight minutes and it did not disappoint.

"I've already went further than I thought I'd go so everything else at this point is extra credit". I've known since school that it's not the guy who tells the joke who gets caught, it's the guy who laughs.

Players have grumbled that James has slowed the ball movement, holding onto the ball until he sees an "assist" pass, rather than moving it quickly. "That's why he's Lance", said Oladipo.

Thomas connecting on a short jumper at 7:22 of the third quarter for his first basket. IN has been on a bit of a skid recently, going 4-6 in their last 10 games, and in was handled pretty easily by the Heat earlier in the week. As a group, this is a playoff team that has connected quickly. Although they have yet to master it like Golden State, Toronto's 29-11 record is a franchise best at the 40-game mark of a season. And he's done nearly all the things you're supposed to do to establish yourself as a mainstream celebrity. They may have won Wednesday to Miami if not for their brutal struggles from distance, going 1 for 18.
