At halftime of Game 1, the Raptors led 60-57, but in the fourth quarter, there were only 41 points scored because the game was nip-and-tuck with little fouling and few free throws. The possessions were 89 for each team, but on the season they were 98, 93 and 98, respectively. The scores of those games were Toronto 133-99, Cleveland 132-129 and Cleveland 112-106.

The three-point barrage in Game 1 and overtime has escalated Game 2's total. Expect the second units to lift up the teams, making for tough coaching adjustments with starters' minutes. Grab the Under on a high number.

The Cavaliers completed a stunning comeback against the Raptors with solid execution down the stretch. It was a familiar fourth quarter reminiscent of the seven-game Pacers series. The issues surrounding Cleveland are still evident, so expect the Raptors not to let up on the gas pedal in Game 2.

The Cavaliers' huge Game 1 overtime win saw them finally play as a team with five players in double-figures, but they still shot only 41 percent. The Raptors were up by 14 points, and I'm expecting them to build another lead Thursday in Game 2. Except this time around, Toronto will hold its composure and tie the series with a dominant win.

The Cavs have now won seven of the past eight meetings. Take the points with highly confident Cleveland.
