CAVS QUICK FACTS • The Cleveland Cavaliers continue their 2018 Playoff run when they take on the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. This is the third straight postseason the two teams have met, with the Cavs defeating the Raptors 4-2 in the 2016 Eastern Conference Finals and 4-0 in last year’s Semifinals. • In that four-game sweep over Toronto in the 2017 Semifinals, the Cavs won by an average margin of 15.3 points (116.3-101.0) and made at least 13 three-pointers in all four games. LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to score 35 or more points in every game of a fourgame sweep in the series, averaging 36.0 points on .573 (43-75) shooting from the field, .481 (13-27) from three-point range, .833 (45-54) from the foul line, 8.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 block in 41.0 minutes against the Raptors. • In the 2017-18 regular season, Cleveland won two of the three contests against Toronto. The Cavs’ two most recent matchups versus the Raptors came at The Q (132-129 on March 21 and 112-106 on April 3), where they averaged 122.0 points on .548 shooting from the field, .519 (28-54) from beyond the arc, .852 (46-54) from the foul line, and 23.0 assists (11.0 TOs) in the two victories. • Cleveland won their First Round series against Indiana 4-3 to advance to the Semifinals for the 12th time in franchise history. Cleveland improved to 4-2 all time in Game 7s (3-0 at home, 1-0 at The Q). The Cavs also overcame a 2-1 series deficit for the 5th time in their team playoff history (Won 4-3 in 1992 Semifinals vs. BOS, 4-2 in 2007 ECF vs. DET, 4-2 in 2015 Semifinals vs. CHI & 4-3 in 2016 Finals vs. GSW). • The Wine & Gold made at least 10 three-pointers in each of final 6 games of their First Round series win over Indiana (Games 2-7). • The Cavs’ defense didn’t allow more than 100 points in 5 of the 7 games against the Pacers in the First Round. • NBA HISTORY & MILESTONES: LeBron James (399 STL) is 1 steal away from becoming the first player in NBA history to record 400 steals in postseason play. James (1,992 REB, 102 DD) needs 8 rebounds to become the 7th player in NBA history to reach 2,000 playoff boards for his career and 2 double-doubles to pass Elgin Baylor (103 DD) for the 8th-most in the postseason. James (224 GP) can also pass Tony Parker (226 GP) for 5th all-time in playoff games played with 3 more contests. J.R. Smith (259 3FGM) is 3 threes shy of passing Robert Horry (261 3FGM) for 10th place in NBA playoff history (Klay Thompson is 12th w/257 3FGM). • MORE HISTORY: Among the Cavaliers all-time postseason leaders, Kyle Korver (43 3FGM) needs to make 4 three-pointers to pass Channing Frye (46 3FGM) for 9th place. J.R. Smith (64 STL) is 1 steal away from passing Mark Price (64 STL) for sole possession of the 4th-most steals in franchise playoff history and 4 steals shy of passing Anderson Varejao (67 STL) for 3 rd on that list. Kevin Love (152 FTM) needs to make 5 free throws to move past Zydrunas Ilgauskas (156 FTM) for 5th place on the Cavs leaderboard. • LeBron James scored at least 40 points three times during the 2018 First Round series against Indiana, which includes a 45-point performance in Game 7 (16-25 FG, 8 REB, 7 AST, 4 STL, 43 MIN). James was also the last NBA player to scored 40 points or more three times in a single playoff series (2015 Finals). James has recorded at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in all seven playoff games this year and in 14 straight postseason games going back to last year’s playoffs (5/23/17). In the 2018 Playoffs, James is averaging a NBA-high 34.4 points (.553 FG%, careerhigh .818 FT%), 10.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 block in 41.2 minutes. He also has 5 double-doubles and 1 triple-double. • J.R. Smith knocked down at least three triples in four of the seven games against Indiana, including Game 7 (11 PTS, 3-8 3FG, 4 REB, 35 MIN). • In 3 games against the Raptors during the 2017-18 regular season, Kevin Love averaged 17.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.7 minutes.
