Didn't know what to expect from this squad with that long layover and they looked fresh and motivated, which is the biggest takeaway for me, personally.
This game was quite different than the last series. Cleveland came out and kept up their defensive energy. In fact, DD for Toronto was a -32 on the floor. He is, arguably, your best player and to be that abysmal with him out there is indicative of the difference between the teams.
That first quarter set the tone. That Shumpert dunk was a big boost, Irving scored or assisted on 19 points in that quarter and the defense was on point. Not only was the offense flowing and the defense staggering but they took care of the ball. Only 4 turnovers throughout the first 3 quarters and in the 4th it was expected to rise with the bench.
Notable mention to TT with a game leading 14 boards and Irving with a career playoff high 10 assists when he only had 12 in the entire Indiana series.
Quick, someone get some beers over to the hotel for Toronto because they want to forget this game asap.
