Schroder, Mobley Rally Cavaliers in 4th Quarter for 125-120 Win over Raptors to Take 3-2 Series Lead

On Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors 125-120 in Game 5 of their NBA Playoffs series, taking a 3-2 lead.
Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram exited the game in the second quarter with right heel inflammation, forcing a rotation crunch that weakened the team's defensive depth.
The Raptors' signature "swarm" defense vanished in the second half, allowing Cleveland to shoot over 55 per cent from the floor in the final two frames.
Dennis Schroder scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Evan Mobley hit pivotal 3-pointers to secure the comeback victory.
Facing a "win or go home" situation, the Raptors host the Cleveland Cavaliers at Scotiabank Arena on Friday for Game 6 to extend their season.
