"Brandon Ingram's struggles in this series have been well documented. Entering Game 4, he was averaging just 12 points per game. From the opening tip, it was clear he wanted this game to be different."
"Even as his shot was not falling, Ingram never shifted into playmaker mode or looked to keep Toronto's offense moving. Instead, he kept hunting difficult shots while teammates watched possessions stall."
"Toronto needed something different. This is part of Ingram's game. He can make difficult shots and has confidence to spare. But in a pivotal Game 4, Toronto needed more from its star."
"Fortunately, the defense carried them. Cleveland's 89 points were the second-fewest Toronto has allowed all season."
Toronto secured a narrow 93-89 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4, marked by low scoring and poor shooting. RJ Barrett struggled with 8-for-22 shooting, while Ja'Kobe Walter went 0-for-9. Brandon Ingram, despite scoring 23 points, shot 6-for-23 and did not record an assist. His shot-hunting style hindered the team's offensive flow, leading to stalled possessions. The Raptors' defense was crucial, limiting Cleveland to 89 points, the second-fewest allowed by Toronto this season.
