For three quarters of Game 5, the Toronto Raptors were the better team. 

But in the fourth quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers reasserted the pattern that has defined the first-round series as they outlasted the short-handed Raptors club for a 125-120 win that gives them a 3-2 series lead.

The home team has yet to lose in this series, and the Raptors will need to make sure that pattern continues in order to avoid elimination when the two teams head back to Toronto for Game 6 at Scotiabank Arena on Friday night. If they manage to hold serve, Game 7 is set for Cleveland Sunday. 

The Raptors may have to do it without leading scorer Brandon Ingram, who left Wednesday's game early in the second quarter as inflammation in his right heel flared up. It’s the same problem that kept him out........
