After a tight contest defined by defense, the Raptors won Game 4, 93-89, to knot things at two.
If there is a series that will go to seven games in the first round, the Cavs and Raptors may be the most likely. The Cavs took the first two games of the series convincingly, but the Raptors have stormed back in the last two games, with Game 4 being the closest yet.
On the offensive side, the Raptors were not great, but Scottie Barnes was certainly the bright spot. He had 23 points along with 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks. Collin Murray-Boyles also managed a 15-point double-double off the bench.
The No. 4 Cavaliers had a few solid scoring performances in Game 4, but the shooting efficiency was lacking. Donovan Mitchell led the way with 20, but was 6-24 from the floor. Harden saw higher efficiency, going 6-14 from the floor for a total of 19 points.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the series, both teams are looking to find more consistency in their shot selection. The efficiency was a struggle for both sides in Game 4, but there are still at least two games for either side to rectify this.
