Back home, Cavs smash the Raptors

Throughout most of Game Five of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers had about double the score of the Toronto Raptors.

At halftime, the Cavs held a 31-point lead, the largest halftime lead in playoff history. The final score was 116-78.

The dominant performance was a far cry from the lukewarm play that Cavs fans saw in the last two playoff games held in Toronto.

Three-point madman Kevin Love was responsible for 25 points, a game-high score for him, and an effective rebound after not playing so hot in Toronto.

The series now sits at 3-2, and with the Cavaliers heading back to Toronto for the next game, it remains to be seen how they will perform without the home court advantage.

Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs begins tomorrow at 8:30 p.m.
