Cleveland Cavaliers 132-129 Toronto Raptors: talking points and a takeaway

#1 Takeaway (Play-off Trailer)

The 2016 NBA Champions have been largely disappointing this season as they currently lie third in eastern conference with regular season record of 42-29.

Meanwhile, the Raptors became the first team to lose after scoring a season-high 79 points in the first half and are now just 4.5 games ahead of the Boston Celtics who have a firm grip on second place. While the Raptors have been impressive this year, they once again became victims to James' Cavaliers with Wednesday's win taking their losing run in Cleveland to 1-8.

Raptors were also swept 4-0 by the Cavs in the last year's Eastern Conference Semi-Finals and could face the same opponent in the finals this year, if the standings remain the same.

The two teams will meet again at the Quickens Loan Arena for the final time in the regular season on April 3.
