    The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the road for the first time in 12 days, taking on the Toronto Raptors! I'll be live updating this page throughout the night.

    The Cavs will be missing Darius Garland (left great toe injury management), De'Andre Hunter (rest), Craig Porter Jr. (left hamstring strain), Jarrett Allen (right finger strain), Sam Merrill (right wrist sprain), and Dean Wade (right knee hyperextension), along with Max Strus. The Raptors will be without RJ Barrett due to a sprained right knee.

    Starters:

    Cavs - Ball, Mitchell, Tyson, Nance, Mobley

    Raptors - Quickley, Walter, Ingram, Barnes, Poeltl

    FIRST QUARTER

    Donovan Mitchell opens the game with a shot-clock beating three to his left and a steal, but Immanuel Quickley and Brandon Ingram answer right back. Kenny Atkinson calls for time less than 90 seconds into the game.

    Up and down they go in Toronto. Jaylon Tyson's playing strong in transition and even showed a power one-two step for an and-one. Lonzo Ball's poking the ball away from Raptors on the block and has two threes. Cavs up 17-15 midway through one.

    Tyrese Proctor and Nae'Qwan Tomlin in for Mitchell and Evan Mobley. Luke Travers comes and gets Tyson next. 

    Proctor's off-the-dribble game is nice. 

    Raptor bench giving Cleveland problems again behind Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jamal Shead, but Cavs take a 32-29 lead into the second.

    SECOND QUARTER

    Thomas Bryant is the ninth wine-and-golder off the bench. Chris Livingston is next to make his Cavs debut.

    Nice slashing and-one bucket by Livingston for his first career Cleveland bucket. Mitchell made a nice jump pass there. Bryant's been awesome defensively and on box outs with Jakob Poeltl. It's 42-36 Cavs with 6:47 to go until half.

    Qwan with a transition three from Nance and a 9-1-1 triple from the Rogers Centre. He's got 10 as the high Cavalier right now. Atkinson wants a timeout after a blown defensive assignment, though. Cleveland leads 50-44 with 3:23 left.

    Behind a 7-0 run led by Brandon Ingram and short Cleveland jumpers and turnovers, the Raptors take a 57-54 lead into the locker room. Good scoring spread for the wine-and-gold and also the 18 combined from Proctor and Tomlin.

    THIRD QUARTER

    Cavs showing heavy legs and not getting back in transition to start the second half. Raptors up 63-56.

    As soon as Proctor and Tomlin got in, they led the way with Tyson on a big run. Cavs cut it to 73-69 off the bat. Cleveland's got to find a way to slow down Ingram, who's having a great night.

    Toronto won that quarter by a mile. Just more juice and Ingram is balling out. Cavs trail 88-76 going into the final frame.

    FOURTH QUARTER

    Solid debut for Chris Livingston, who's done nothing but take it to the cup and finish in traffic. He's got seven as the Cavs just keep hanging around despite an emptying gas tank.

    Donovan Mitchell was resting during that run and came in with an inbounds turnover, but he's got back-to-back triples now. Cavs only down 103-99 with 4:35 remaining in regulation.

    Cavs did what they could and fought until the end, but the Raptors just had more again. They've caught them on a second night of a road-home back-to-back twice now. Toronto wins 110-99.
