To keep their season alive, the Raptors are counting on a home-court advantage that saved them before.
LeBron James and the Cavaliersmoved within one win of their second straight NBA Finals on Wednesday night by routing Toronto 116-78 in Game 5, the fourth lopsided game in a series where both teams have struggled mightily on the road.
Paced by the resurgent Kevin Love with 25 points, and 23 apiece from James and Kyrie Irving, the Cavs built a 43-point lead in the second half and demolished the Raptors. Toronto lost three games in Cleveland"s Quicken Loans Arena by a combined 88 points.
Fortunately, the Raptors are back home in front of their own frenzied fans and will host Game 6 on Friday night in Air Canada Centre, where the Cavs are 0-4 this season and lost Games 3 and 4 in this series.
After going 32-9 at home during the regular season, Toronto is 8-2 on its floor in the playoffs, and pulled off a Game 7 wins over Indiana and Miami.
The Raptors need it to be home sweet home one more time.
"We"ve got to play the same way we played the two home games we"ve had so far," Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said Thursday, a day after he was hounded by Cleveland"s guards and scored just 13 on 5 of 12 shooting. "That"s all we can do. Can"t worry about the road. We might not get a chance to go back on the road if we don"t play the right way tomorrow."
Toronto was overmatched from the opening tap in Game 5, falling behind by 18 after one quarter, 31 at halftime and finishing with 18 turnovers, five by Lowry.
"They"re drastically bad when you"ve got LeBron coming at you," Lowry said.
