Raptors vs Cavaliers

Raptors vs Cavaliers played on April 18, 2026. Final score: Raptors 113 - Cavaliers 126. R1. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

Top fan take from @FlameRaptorRaven: “Started out strong and slowly became a dud until it was basically decided by the start of the 4th quarter. The first half was genuinely good and tense playoff basketball. The Raptors started uncharacteristically hot from 3. Scottie in particular was killing the Cavs both offensively and defensively. Cleveland was ready to go too, matching Toronto’s hot start with Allen and Harden doing the heavy lifting. If the entire game had been like this, I’d probably give this game a high 7 or maybe an 8 depending on how it ended. Sadly, it very much did not continue like that. Cleveland ended the first half with a 7-point lead and then started the 2nd half with a 9-0 run and basically killed any chance the Raptors had of coming back. This game ended as a 13-point loss, but it could’ve been a 20-point blowout if not for a late run from the Raptors. Ironically it was the defense that struggled. Spida, Harden and Struss killed us. CMB and Shead were great. Need more from Ingram and Scottie.”
