The Raptors win at home again to even up the series with the Cavs at 2-2. Lowry had 35pts including 15pts and 3 3-pters in the 2nd quarter, and Derozan had 32pts for their highest combined scoring output as teammates. They became the first teammates since Barkley and Majerle in 1993 to have at least 30pts on 60% fg in a conference finals game. Lebron had 29pts, 9reb, 6asts whilst playing 46min, Irving added 26pts, but Love struggled with 10pts on 4-of-14 shooting. The Cavs trailed 57-41 after the first half, and were down by as much as 18, but were able to cut the deficit to just 9 by the start of the 4th quarter. The Cavs started the 4th quarter with an 8-0 run to get within 1, and then both teams traded baskets with the Cavs making 11 consecutive field goals. Irving had a long 3-pter that cut the lead to 101-99 with 2min left, then Derozan banked in a shot with 1:32 left after missing his initial shot. Down by 4, the Cav's Smith had his 3-pter blocked by Biyombo, who then collected an offensive rebound on the other end off Lowry's miss. After a timeout, Lowry ran down the shot clock then blew by Smith for an uncontested layup, giving the Raptors an insurmountable 105-99 lead with 22sec left. The Cavs and Raptors have not won a single road game against each other in these playoffs or the regular season.
