Key Matchup: Battle of the Wings

• Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett were unstoppable in Game 3, each dropping a career playoff-high 33 points. Barnes also added 11 assists, showcasing his ability to serve as a primary playmaker.
• Donovan Mitchell and James Harden were stymied in Toronto, with Mitchell held to 15 points and Harden committing eight turnovers. For the Cavs to regain control, they need Mitchell to rediscover the form that saw him score 30+ in the first two games of the series.

There's a good chance that the duo that performs better will come out of the game on top, taking control of momentum for the series.

How Raptors Can Win Game 4

A major factor in Game 3 was Toronto's aggression on the defensive end. The Raptors forced 22 turnovers, which they converted into 23 points.

Cleveland must tighten their ball security, especially against a Raptors squad that thrives in transition. Look for the Cavs to lean more on Evan Mobley in the high post to alleviate pressure on the guards.

The Raptors' bench also stepped up in Game 3, led by rookie Collin Murray-Boyles (22 points) and second-year pro Jamison Battle, who scored 14 points in the fourth quarter alone. If Toronto’s secondary scoring stays hot, they are well-positioned to tie the series.

Playing in front of their home fans in the biggest game of the year is also an added benefit, and that could be the difference between winning and losing the game.
