TORONTO — RJ Barrett said he had trouble sleeping the night before Thursday night's Game 3. A Toronto native, he said he was excited thinking about playing his first home playoff game and anticipating the task at hand for the Raptors after dropping the first two games of the series.
Scottie Barnes had a double-double as the Toronto Raptors routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 126-104 on Thursday in Game 3 of their first-round NBA playoff series.

The NBA Defensive Player of the Year award has been around since 1983, and in that time, no player has ever received 100 percent of the first-place votes for the award. Victor Wembanyama is now the first. The San Antonio Spurs superstar center received 100 first-place votes out of a possible 100 to unanimously win the prestigious award, the NBA announced on Monday. Wembanyama, a frontrunner for Most Valuable Player, led the league in blocks for the third straight season in becoming the youngest player to ever earn the award . The two-time All-Star also averaged career highs in points and rebounds while chipping in a steal per game for a Spurs team that compiled the second-best record in the league and also ranked No. 3 in the league in defensive rating. Wembanyama secured 500 points in the voting and joined fellow Spur legend David Robinson in becoming the only two players since 1991-92 to win the award within their first three seasons. That continues a remarkable tradition: a league-high four different Spurs players have now won the award a combined five times: Alvin Robertson , Robinson, Kawhi Leonard and Wembanyama. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chet Holmgren finished second in the voting with 239 points , while the Detroit Pistons’ Ausar Thompson finished third with 60 points .
Donovan Mitchell scored 32 points, Max Strus had 24 off the bench and the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the visiting Toronto Raptors 126-113 on Saturday in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
It's time for Toronto Raptors all-stars Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes to step up and they know it.
Scottie Barnes had a triple-double as the Toronto Raptors routed the Brooklyn Nets 136-101 on Sunday to clinch a playoff spot in the NBA's Eastern Conference.
Brandon Ingram scored a season-high 38 points as the Raptors rolled to a 128-114 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday as Toronto closed in on a playoff berth.
