Im glad we went through a close game with a great team like that though. It shows a lot of growth on our end as a team.LeBron James had 21 points and Kevin Love chipped in 18 with 10 rebounds to keep the Cavaliers perfect two games into their title defense.Cleveland led almost from the opening tip until Kyle Lowry put the Raptors in front with 2:37 to play.
