"The Raptors shot just 32 percent as a team from the field, a number that usually and if we are being honest should guarantee a loss, especially in the playoffs. Except, somehow, it did not."
"This was not a case of the Raptors star players carrying the load, it was more like everyone chipping in just enough to survive."
"What makes it even stranger is that Cleveland shooting was not much better either. The Cavaliers finished at 36.8 percent shooting, turning the game into a grind where missed shots piled up on both sides."
The Toronto Raptors won Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, evening the series at two games each. The Raptors shot a mere 32 percent from the field, the worst percentage for a playoff win since the NBA-ABA merger. Eight players contributed, but only five reached double figures, with no player making more than eight shots. The Cavaliers also struggled, shooting 36.8 percent, resulting in a low-scoring, grind-it-out game that favored the Raptors' style of play.
