Live betting fans will be thrilled with the development of these two must-watch series.
LeBron James reminded everyone why fans bet online for the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Kawhi Leonard led the San Antonio Spurs in bringing the fight to the Houston Rockets. Both the Rockets and the Toronto Raptors need to make some serious adjustments if they want any hope of turning the tide.
Toronto Raptors 103-125 Cleveland Cavaliers
DeMar DeRozan was unable to even dent LeBron James and company as the Toronto Raptors return to Air Canada Centre with a 2-0 ditch to climb out of.
Tyronn Lue’s game plan to take DeRozan out of the game was extremely effective; the Raptors’ offensive efficiency was cut in half without their lead scorer attracting the defence. The Cavs also did well in countering the iso-heavy plays set by Dwane Casey.
Meanwhile, LeBron James was an unstoppable force for the Cavaliers. He ended the game with 39 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 10-for-14 shooting. Kyle Lowry was his usual self and Channing Frye was making it rain from three-point land.
Unless Toronto finds a way to stop James, we might see the Cavs bringing out the brooms again.
Houston Rockets 96-121 San Antonio Spurs
What I love the most about Spurs basketball is how Gregg Popovich makes the most sublime adjustments and turn the series on its head.
Minute defensive adjustments saw James Harden end the game with only 13 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists. The Bread’s field goal percentage was at a shocking 17.6%, a true testament to the Spurs’ defensive prowess. The highest scoring Rocket was Ryan Anderson with his 18.
Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard had an unbelievable game for San Antonio: he had 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and a block in only 37 minutes of action. LaMarcus Aldridge and Tony Parker also did big damage if we consider their limited minutes.
We can expect the same rotations to pound Houston in Game 3 unless theRockets change their approach.
