Player Performance

On the Cavaliers’ side, Donovan Mitchell was restricted to 17 points on 6-of-20 shooting, and was only able to convert 3 of his 12 attempts from beyond the arc. Jaylon Tyson chipped in with 15 points, while Evan Mobley and Nae’Qwan each contributed 14. Lonzo Ball struggled offensively, shooting 3-for-15 overall and connecting just 2 out of 12 attempts from three-point range, ultimately finishing with eight points.

The Raptors concluded the first half on a strong note, outscoring Cleveland 13-2 to head into the interval with a 57-54 lead. Ingram emerged as the focal point in the third quarter, making 6 of 12 field goal attempts and capping the period with a three-pointer at the 1:20 mark for Toronto’s largest advantage at 88-74.

Squad Updates and Absentees

Fortunately, tests revealed no serious injury, according to head coach Darko Rajakovic. Center Jakob Poeltl returned to action after missing Sunday’s fixture due to a sore lower back, contributing 13 rebounds.

Cleveland’s depth was tested, with Darius Garland (sore left big toe) and De’Andre Hunter (rest) unavailable on the second night of a back-to-back. Jarrett Allen sat out his third straight match with a sprained finger, among seven Cavaliers missing through injury.
