Raptors, Cavaliers set for Game 7 in Ohio
Raptors force Game 7 with R-J Barrett's overtime winner over Cavaliers Toronto heads to Cleveland for the deciding clash as Brandon Ingram's status looms
RJ Barrett hit a late overtime threepointer on Friday to lift the Toronto Raptors past the Cleveland Cavaliers 112110 and force a deciding Game 7 in their firstround NBA playoff series.
The shot, which came with 1.2 seconds left, gave Toronto a dramatic win at home and briefly drew comparisons to Kawhi Leonard’s famous Game 7 buzzer beater in 2019. The Raptors now head to Rocket Arena in Ohio for the winnertakeall matchup.
Toronto said the focus has quickly moved to the road game, where the Cavaliers will try to extend their strong Game 7 record and advance to the next round. Brandon Ingram is listed as questionable after missing Game 6 with right heel inflammation.
