Cavaliers Take Game 2 Over Raptors 115–105 and Start Packing for Round Two
Cleveland stays in control while Toronto realizes this series is slipping faster than expected.
The Cleveland Cavaliers followed up their Game 1 win with another solid performance, defeating the Toronto Raptors 115–105 to take a commanding 2–0 series lead. And at this point, it’s starting to feel less like a series and more like a slow, polite takeover.
Toronto came out with better energy, clearly trying to avoid falling into a deeper hole. For stretches, it actually worked. The Raptors kept things competitive, made shots, and looked far more comfortable than in Game 1. But every time it felt like they might flip momentum, Cleveland stepped in and calmly shut it down.
That’s been the difference so far. The Cavaliers don’t panic. They don’t rush. They just respond. A quick scoring run, a defensive stop, and suddenly the game is back under their control. It’s not dramatic—it’s just effective, and it’s becoming a serious problem for Toronto.
By the fourth quarter, the pattern was clear. The Raptors needed something big to truly challenge, but Cleveland never allowed that moment to happen. Instead, they managed the game, made the right plays, and closed things out without unnecessary drama.
Game 2 goes to Cleveland, who now lead the series 2–0 and look firmly in control. For Toronto, the situation is simple but uncomfortable: the series is heading home, but so is the pressure—and unless something changes quickly, this could be over sooner than they’d like.
