Andrea Bargnani had 20 points, Linas Kleiza added 19 points and Reggie Evans finished with 14 rebounds in the Toronto Raptors’ 101-81 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
The Cavs were playing without a pair of starters in center Anderson Varejao and point guard Mo Williams, and it showed. Thanks to Evans, the Raptors outrebounded the Cavs 46-33 and put the game away with a 31-point third quarter.
Antawn Jamison had 13 points off the bench and Anthony Parker had 10 to lead the Cavs. Ramon Sessions, starting in place of Williams, was 1 of 10 with five turnovers.
J.J. Hickson, the Cavs’ best low-post presence with Varejao absent from the team to be with his ill father, had early foul trouble and finished with just six points in 18 minutes. The Raptors’ starting frontcourt outscored the Cavs 41-15.
The Raptors went on an 18-5 run over the final six minutes of the third quarter to put the game away. Kleiza had 13 points in the decisive quarter.
