Toronto lead the Eastern Conference First Round 2-0 after a surprising 98-82 win over Cleveland. "We knew the lines in Vegas listed us as favorites," said Toronto coach Bob. "And we knew we had a great shot going in, but really expected a more competitive game. I don't know whether we were really that good or whether they had something else on their minds. Whatever, we're thrilled to get this kind of win over an excellent team like Cleveland."

Said Cleveland star Day, "Coach kept yelling at us 'you know you're better than that,' and he was right. We just didn't have the intensity or whatever today, and it showed in our game. The good thing is that we know we can't play much worse than we did out there, and that we could have won if we'd played as good as we're capable of playing."

Toronto was led by Wright (15 points, 15 boards, 0 assists, a block), Reed (5 points, 10 assists, 2 blocks), Chavis (21 points, a block). Cleveland was led by Day (18 points, 5 boards, 4 assists), Berry (19 points, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Stubbs (8 points, 12 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block).
