The NBA conference semi-finals are ready to go, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are set to host the Toronto Raptors in Game 1. We’ve seen this situation before, as the two eastern conference teams are playing each other for the second consecutive year. The Cavaliers got the better of Toronto en route to their title last year, but things can change quickly in the NBA.
The Raptors are 1-11 all time in Game 1’s in the playoffs and posted just a 2-4 record against the Cavs in the regular season this year.
Despite sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the first round, Cleveland experienced some very close calls and were just able to edge out wins. The Raptors are looking to hopefully one-up the Pacers effort and close games in the fourth quarter. As the three seed taking on the two, anything can happen.
Toronto will continue to look to DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry to get the offense going. The biggest question will be if the Raptors can find any way to slow LeBron James down, who was the first player to average at least 30 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and two blocks in a playoff series. The rosters are bit different on both squads, but Cleveland will certainly remain the favorite, for now.
With the stage set for Game 1, check out all the ways to watch the Cavaliers take on the Raptors below.
