The Cleveland Cavaliers came back to life with a 116-78 victory, after losing back-to-back games against the Toronto Raptors.
“There’s no place like home.”
That has become the theme of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Raptors, with 8-2 at home post-season, boast the strongest home-court advantage of any team left in the NBA Playoffs. But they have been the exact opposite on the road.
The Raptors went into Game 5 with momentum after beating the odds to win their last two meetings in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference final. Now that the Game 5 is back in Cleveland, LeBron James and company regained the advantage in the series at 3-2.
