The Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 93–89 on April 26 at Scotiabank Arena in a low-scoring defensive battle that fell well short of the 218.5-point Vegas total. Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes each scored 23 points to lead Toronto, which shot just 32 percent from the field but compensated with 11 steals and solid fourth-quarter execution, outscoring Cleveland 33–31 in the final frame. Donovan Mitchell paced Cleveland with 20 points, followed by James Harden's 19, though the Cavaliers' 17 turnovers proved costly despite connecting on 10 three-pointers and shooting 36.8 percent overall. Toronto's defensive rating of 90.7 nearly matched Cleveland's 90.4 offensive rating, reflecting the sluggish pace; the Raptors' 59 rebounds and 19 assists proved marginal advantages in a grind-it-out contest. Both teams' offensive ratings hovered around 90, underlining the defensive intensity that defined the matchup. The outcome tightens playoff positioning as Toronto looks to build momentum in the series.
