Cavaliers Dominate at Scotiabank Arena, Hand Raptors a 119-95 Defeat

The Toronto Raptors faced a challenging night at the Scotiabank Arena, succumbing to the Cleveland Cavaliers with a final score of 119-95. The Cavaliers improved their season record to 35-16 while the Raptors now stand at 19-34. The home crowd witnessed the visiting team take control early on and maintain their lead throughout the game.

From tip-off, it was clear that the Cavaliers were in sync, showcasing an impressive offensive display by shooting 52 percent from the field and converting an outstanding 67 percent of their two-point attempts. Their dominance was further highlighted by scoring 60 points in the paint and adding another 19 points through second-chance opportunities. The Cavaliers' bench contributed significantly with 44 points, bolstering their attack.

The Raptors struggled to keep pace with Cleveland's scoring efficiency. Despite drawing more fouls than their opponents, they were only able to convert 70 percent of their free throws and managed just a modest shooting performance overall with a field goal percentage of only 40 percent. Their efforts from beyond the arc also fell short as they hit just under one-third of their three-point shots.

One bright spot for Toronto was its ability to generate fast break opportunities; however, they capitalized on only half of those chances resulting in just 15 fast break points compared to Cleveland's efficient execution which led them to score on an impressive rate from similar plays.

Defensively, both teams had moments but it was Cleveland who maintained better control over proceedings; this is evident in them leading for over two-thirds of game time and building up a commanding lead that reached up to twenty-five points during play.

As for individual performances, no specific player statistics were provided but it can be inferred that multiple players on both sides contributed effectively given each team's total assists count – twenty-two for Toronto against thirty-six for Cleveland – suggesting good ball movement among teammates throughout this contest.
