The Toronto Raptors secured a vital 126-104 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of their playoff series, led by RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes, who each scored 33 points, a career playoff high for both. The Raptors, now trailing the series 2-1, showcased a strong performance, particularly in the fourth quarter where they outscored Cleveland 43-23. Barrett highlighted the importance of the home crowd's energy, stating it significantly aided their performance. The Raptors shot an impressive 61% from three-point range, with Barrett going 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. Additionally, rookie Collin Murray-Boyles made a notable contribution off the bench, setting a team rookie record with 22 points. Coach Darko Rajakovic praised the team's defensive discipline, which effectively contained the Cavaliers' star players, including Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, who struggled to find their rhythm. The Raptors will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for Game 4 on Sunday.
