Eastern Finals: Raptors vs. Cavaliers Game 1 May 17, 2016 Full game result,recap,

The Cleveland Cavaliers finished a mere one game ahead of the Toronto Raptors during the 2015-16 regular season, but they looked worlds apart on Tuesday in Game 1 final score 115-84of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cleveland established control of the series with an overwhelming 115-84 victory at Quicken Loans Arena in a contest that was never in doubt in the second half. The Cavaliers turned a five-point lead at the end of the first quarter into a 22-point halftime lead by winning the second quarter, 33-16, and never looked back.


Kyrie Irving was fantastic for the defending Eastern Conference champions with 27 points, five assists, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks, while LeBron James added 24 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block. They were the two best players on the floor and never gave the Raptors much of a chance.

ESPN Stats & Info noted Cleveland joined some impressive company with the win:

The Cavaliers took the floor on game 1 eastern conference for the first time since May 8 but didn't look anywhere near rusty after Toronto bolted out to a 7-0 lead. They shot a scorching 68.4 percent from the field and built a 33-28 advantage in the opening 12 minutes behind 12 points from Irving and eight points each from James and Kevin Love.

Mike Prada of SB Nation said, "Toronto is understandably worried about giving up [threes], but some of this perimeter defense is just terrible regardless," while Derek Young of Scout.com highlighted an ominous trend for the Raptors in the first 12 minutes:


The Cavaliers continued to take advantage of Toronto's suspect defense when Lowry and DeRozan were on the bench. Matthew Dellavedova gave Cleveland a commanding 42-28 lead less than three minutes into the second quarter when he drilled a three-pointer and converted an and-1.

As if that wasn't enough, James sent the Raptors a message when he put his team ahead by 17:


James' message was loud, but so was the one from the entire Cavaliers squad. Cleveland established an overwhelming 66-44 advantage by halftime by shooting a blistering 66.7 percent from the field. The combination of James and Irving was unstoppable with 32 combined points on 15-of-18 shooting.

The Raptors did show some fight early in the third quarter and cut the deficit to 66-51, but James responded with an and-1, an assist on an Irving three, two more baskets and a free throw, putting the Cavaliers ahead 77-53 with 8:00 left in the third. Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star summarized the difference between the Raptors and the four-time MVP:


After the James-led run, the Cavaliers continued to march toward the inevitable victory throughout the third quarter. They took a 95-67 lead into the fourth, and the combination of James, Irving and Love had 65 points to Toronto's 67.

Irving posted team highs with 27 points and five assists, and former Cleveland star Mark Price was impressed with the point guard's command of the game:

The major pieces for both sides spent the fourth on the bench in a game that was well in hand, but the Cavaliers still managed to push their total to 100 within the first five minutes of the quarter. Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports pointed out the "Cavs' passing [is] several notches above [the] early-season effort. This is [the] offense LeBron wanted. Unselfish. Multiple weapons."

Cleveland's bench maintained its dominance throughout the final 12 minutes, and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jesse Holley shared the Internet's recap of the Cavaliers' Final score 115-84 win.

  3. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC(www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
