"Toronto just took care of business once again, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers. This win proved that their last victory over Cleveland in NBA group play on October 31 was no fluke. This time around, the Cavs had the luxury of Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Sam Merrill in the lineup. While Mitchell put up a 31-point performance, the Raptors had no problem containing Cleveland, securing a 126-113 result."
"Against Cleveland on November 13, Poeltl had his best game to date, posting 20 points on a hyperefficient 7-for-10 field goal shooting, a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line, seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals. And while Toronto's victory against Brooklyn on November 11 wasn't the prettiest effort, Poeltl's performance there too showed a positive trajectory: 12 points on 5-for-6 shooting, ten rebounds, two assists, two blocks, one steal, and a +15 plus/minus."
Toronto beat Cleveland 126-113 despite the Cavaliers fielding Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Sam Merrill, with Mitchell scoring 31 points. The Raptors have won six of seven games as early-season weaknesses diminished and the team regained its usual tempo. Immanuel Quickley has shot well across the road trip, appearing to resolve earlier struggles. Jakob Poeltl is emerging from injury-managed minutes and provided a significant lift, delivering 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting, perfect free throws, seven rebounds, and multiple defensive contributions, following a strong performance versus Brooklyn.
