TORONTO – The Toronto Raptors will try to claw back into their first-round NBA playoff series tonight when they host Game 3 at Scotiabank Arena, trailing 2-0 to Cleveland in the best-of-seven matchup.

Toronto dropped the first two games on the road, including a 115-105 loss Monday after a 126-113 defeat in Game 1.

Turnovers have been an issue, with the Raptors committing 22 in Game 2.

Containing Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, who had 30 points Monday, will be key for Toronto.

The Raptors also need more from all-star forward Brandon Ingram, who had seven points on 3-for-15 shooting on Monday.

Toronto’s starting point guard Immanuel Quickley is still listed day-to-day with a hamstring injury.
