The Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers scored exactly 669 points through six games, and, as a result, we are heading for Game 7. No doubt both teams made mistakes along the way, but it has led to some iconic moments. Hometown star RJ Barrett delivered the defining moment, knocking down a high-arcing three-pointer that bounced on the rim before falling through to seal the win.

But the Cavs, on the other hand, turned the ball over 18 times to Toronto’s 15 (including 4 turnovers from James Harden alone). Their other star, Donovan Mitchell struggled in the beginning and had just 7 points till 3:20 in the third frame. But they have won all their games at home in the series. And with Raptors’ Brandon Ingram’s availability up in the air, Cleveland would like to cash in at Rocket Arena once again.

Toronto Raptors Injury Update

Aside from Ingram’s heel issue, starting point guard Immanuel Quickley remains out for the entire series. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett will have to do the lion’s share of the work for the Raptors to keep their campaign alive. Head coach Marko Rajkovic knows this and is once again ready to share the responsibilities among his players.

“Over the course of the season, we were missing different players at different times,” Rajakovic said before Game 6. “The quality and strength of this team is finding ways. Finding ways for somebody else to step up and to fill in the role and help the team. Obviously missing two starters in IQ [Immanuel Quickley] and BI is a lot, but at the same time, we have enough players on this roster to continue going.”
