The Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 110–99 on November 24 at Scotiabank Arena, with Brandon Ingram leading all scorers with 37 points in a dominant performance that anchored the home team's victory. Toronto's defense proved suffocating in the middle quarters, holding Cleveland to just 22 points in both the second and third periods after the Cavaliers' hot-shooting start of 32 first-quarter points. The Raptors shot 48.9 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers while forcing 12 turnovers, establishing a defensive rating of 98.3 that held the visitors well below their season expectations. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell (17 points) and Jalen Tyson (15 points) could not generate enough offensive consistency, and despite launching 14 three-pointers, the Cavaliers shot just 41.4 percent overall and managed only 27 assists. Toronto's 51 rebounds and 28 assists reflected a balanced attack supplemented by Spencer Barnes's 18 points, helping the Raptors stay comfortably under the Vegas total line of 234.5. The result strengthens Toronto's positioning in the Eastern Conference standings heading into the stretch run.
