Cavs vs. Raptors 2018 live stream: Time, TV channel, and how to watch Game 2 online

Can the Raptors redeem themselves after an ugly Game 1 finish?

The Cleveland Cavaliers stole Game 1 from the Toronto Raptors in Canada on Tuesday night, 113-112, in an overtime that featured a ton of misses around the rim from the No. 1 seed. In fact, they missed five shots in the final seven seconds of the game that could’ve meant the win.

The Raptors fell into their “choker” narrative, leading for 47 minutes and 17 seconds of the 48 minutes of regulation. Their stars were solid, with DeMar DeRozan scoring 22 points on 20 shots with seven rebounds and five assists. Kyle Lowry had 18 points and 10 assists, but the rest of the Raptors offense grew stale as time elapsed. Jonas Valanciunas missed a number of easy ones, finishing 7-of-19 from the floor, and just like that Toronto conceded home-court advantage.

LeBron James didn’t even play particularly well for his ridiculous standards. He triple-doubled with 26 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds, but shot just 12-of-30 from the field. He only made 1-of-6 free throws too, and needed every bit of J.R. Smith’s and Kyle Korver’s combined 10-of-18 three-point shooting.

Aside from the on-court drama, there was some off it too. Cavaliers bench big Kendrick Perkins got into a verbal altercation with rapper and basketball superfan Drake.

Will that continue during Game 2?
