Raptors found a breath of life in Game 2 that shifts all the pressure to Game 3

"Game 2 saw Jakob Poeltl removed from his key role, which has been eerily expected, but still a disappointing blow to see actually unfold."

"Ingram shot a brutal 20 percent from the floor, which is about as bad as you could get at a time when Toronto desperately needed their star on offense to ignite."

"Even though the Raptors fell short and the Cavs won, they only lost by ten points and showed glimpses of potential."

"Encouraging efforts from Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, and a thriving bench hinted that Toronto could turn the tide."

The Raptors faced a challenging Game 2 against the Cavs, losing 115-105. Jakob Poeltl's absence and Brandon Ingram's poor performance, shooting only 20%, hindered their efforts. Toronto committed 22 turnovers, allowing Cleveland to score 22 points off those mistakes. Despite the loss, the Raptors demonstrated potential through encouraging performances from Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, and their bench, suggesting they could improve in Game 3.
