Toronto delivered a 126–104 win, putting together its most efficient offensive performance so far. The Raptors shot 57% from the field and 61% from three-point range, consistently generating clean looks and capitalizing on nearly every opportunity.
That offensive explosion exposed cracks in Cleveland’s defense, which struggled to slow down Toronto’s ball movement and shot-making.
The Cavaliers, meanwhile, couldn’t match that pace. Cleveland finished with 104 points and never found a consistent rhythm offensively, particularly from beyond the arc. Turnovers and inefficient shooting stretches prevented them from building any sustained momentum.
Now heading back to Cleveland, Game Five becomes about response versus momentum; the Raptors are carrying confidence, and the Cavaliers are looking to reset on their home floor.
RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes each scored 33 points, leading a balanced and explosive Raptors attack. Barnes also added 11 assists, impacting the game as both a scorer and playmaker.
Off the bench, Colin Murray-Boyles contributed 22 points on 11-of-15 shooting, while Jamison Battle added 14 points, giving Toronto valuable depth production.
For Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley each finished with 15 points, while James Harden added 18 points but struggled with efficiency and turnovers. Jarrett Allen chipped in 12 points, but the Cavaliers lacked a consistent offensive push to keep pace.
Game Five now becomes a true swing moment in the series. The Raptors showed exactly what they look like when their offense is fully clicking, combining efficiency, ball movement, and depth scoring. That kind of performance puts pressure on Cleveland to respond with a much more complete effort.
The Cavaliers return home with the advantage of crowd and familiarity, but the focus shifts to tightening up defensively and finding a more consistent offensive rhythm.
The edge still leans slightly toward Cleveland at home, but after Game Four, Toronto has clearly shown it can take control when its offense is rolling.
