The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors 114–102 on May 3, 2026, at Rocket Mortage FieldHouse, in a playoff contest that fell short of the Vegas total of 209.5 points. Jarrett Allen and Donovan Mitchell each scored 22 points to lead the Cavaliers, who controlled the game through a dominant third quarter in which they outscored Toronto 38–19. Cleveland shot 44.7 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers while limiting turnovers to 16, posting a +20.5 point differential in net rating (117.2 offensive, 96.7 defensive). The Raptors, despite strong performances from Scottie Barnes (24 points) and RJ Barrett (23 points), could not overcome a 27-rebound disadvantage and shot just 43.7 percent. Toronto's fourth-quarter surge—34 points—came too late to overcome the third-quarter collapse, and the team's 25 assists on 102 points underscored offensive inefficiency. The loss leaves Toronto facing elimination pressure as the series continues.
