Raptors beat up the Cavilers 92-77 as the Raptors got great performance by most and the Cavs could not shoot

It was not the prettiest basketball game but the Raptors found their shot late in the first quarter behind great performances by Andrea Bargnani (31 points and 7 boards), DeMar DeRozan (25 points and 5 boards), Jose Calderon (13 points, 11 assists, and 6 boards), and even James Johnson (8 boards and 4 points) was able to put a body on the Cavilers who started by going to the hoop early scoring 8 of their 18 first quarter in the paint and most of them before the Raptors tightened up their defense. The Cavilers went 1 for 14 in the last 7:20 of the first quarter as the Cavilers only got a jumper from Gibson in that time as the Raptors as the Raptors went on a 10-4 run and kept the defense as the Cavilers only had running bank shot off glass from Gibson til 6:09 mark of the quarter when Antawn Jamieson found his shot and scored 9 of his 17 first half points in the second half of the second quarter. The Raptors needed a end of half 3-ball from DeMar DeRozan who had 15 points in the first half to give the Raptors a 46-39 lead @ recess.

The third quarter for the Cavilers was even worse than the first as they only made 4 of 17 from the floor in the quarter and they ended up with only 12 points in the quarter while Andrea had 11 by himself in the quarter. In the fourth quarter it got silly Barbosa took like a 35 foot jumper at the end a shot clock and made it as the Raptors got up to a 20-point lead (90-70 with just over a minute and a half left) and the strangest part of the game was that Dwayne Casey did not sit the starters until they had a 20-point lead as Andrea played 34 minutes, DeRozan played 37 minutes, and most surprising of all almost 37 minutes as he is the only truly good point guard on the team with Bayless out.

The Cavilers who were lead by Antawn Jamieson who had 19 points as he took 19 of the Cavilers 81 shots and the rest of the team went 16 of 62 (25.8%) while Jamieson went 8 for 19 (42.1) and the Cavilers shoot 29.6% from the floor and if it was not for the free throw line where they went 22 of 26 it would of been much worse. Anderson Varejao took down 13 boards in the game as the Cavilers out rebound the Raptors 45-43 but in the end it was the rookies that struggled especially who was 0 for 5 from the floor and got his only point in his return to the T dot from the line after having 16 last night and Kyre Irving had only 12 points going 3 for 13 from the floor after having 19 last night.

So the Raps had a comfortable game and won it going away with Ed Davis pulling down 7 boards that was awesome
