The Cleveland Cavaliers edged the Toronto Raptors, 94 - 91, at Air Canada Centre on Friday. Through two games, Kyrie Irving has looked like the Cavs' MVP, and led the team in scoring once again Friday night. However, he was nearly responsible for allowing a tightly - contested game to potentially go into overtime when he had the ball stolen from him by the Raptors' Patrick Patterson with one second remaining. Following an ensuing Toronto timeout, Kyle Lowry put up a 32 - foot last - gasp shot as time expired that failed to find the net, allowing the Cavs (20) to escape victorious. The Raptors (1 - 1) fell short after having come back from a 50 - 40 halftime deficit by outscoring Cleveland by a 51 - 44 margin in the second half. Irving's stat line consisted of 26 points, six rebounds and six assists, but he did commit a game - high seven turnovers. LeBron James turned it on in the fourth quarter after an ordinary first three periods, collecting 21 points, eight boards and seven assists. Kevin Love turned in an 18 - point, 10 - rebound double - double and added two assists, two blocks and a steal. Tristan Thompson accomplished the feat as well after a lackluster opener, managing 11 points, 10 rebounds, an assist and a block. The Raptors were once again led by DeMar DeRozan, who tallied a game - high 32 points and added seven rebounds, two assists and two steals. Lowry stepped up with 17 points, four assists and two rebounds, although, like his point guard counterpart on the Cavs, he had trouble hanging on to the ball, committing six turnovers overall. Jonas Valanciunas continued his stellar start to the season with a 10 - point, 17 - rebound double - double, and added a block. DeMarre Carroll turned in a modest but full stat line with eight points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. The Cavs head back home to take on the Magic on Saturday night while the Raptors face off with the Nuggets at Air Canada Centre on Monday night.
