Through two games, the Toronto Raptors‘ historic first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals has been forgettable to say the least.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won both contests by a combined 50 points, and of the players left in the post-season, no Cavs player ranks in the top 20 in minutes played. The Cavaliers are the much fresher team as Toronto had played the maximum 14 games to advance to the conference finals. The heavier legs could be why the Raptors have failed to be within single digits in the second half. Toronto has played the Cavs close to start both games but have fallen apart with momentary lapses.
