Unstoppable LeBron James on fire as Cleveland Cavaliers top Toronto Raptors to take firm grip on NBA play-off series

The Cavaliers, who broke Raptors hearts with a 113-112 overtime triumph on Tuesday, may well have broken their spirit as they won a second straight game at Air Canada Centre to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven second-round series that shifts to Cleveland on Saturday.

“We’ve got to continue to keep our guards up and continue to push,” cautioned James, whose 14 assists matched his career play-off high.

James passed Elgin Baylor for eighth all time with his 104th play-off double-double. This was his 23rd play-off game with at least 40 points and his fourth so far this post-season.

Kevin Love added 31 points and 11 rebounds for the Cavs. JR Smith scored 15, George Hill chipped in 13 and Jeff Green came off the bench to contribute 14 as the Cavs extended their post-season dominance of the Raptors.

“This was a complete team effort,” James said. “It’s a big win for us.”
