The 1st quarter was one of the highest scoring periods in the NBA this season. There was a total of 80 points scored. Jonas Valanciunas got it started for Toronto with 9 points, while DeMar DeRozan and Fred VanVleet both went for 6. On the Cleveland end, LeBron James put up 9 points and 8 assists. Kevin Love had a great performance in the 1st as he scored 10 points. Toronto trailed 38-42.

The Raptors picked up where they left off on offense, scoring a total of 41 points this time around. Delon Wright and Jakob Poeltl led the charge for the Raptors as they combined for 17 points. Pascal Siakam played excellent defense on Kevin Love, and he also put up 7 points. With 3:43 remaining in the half, DeRozan drove towards the hoop and prepared to throw down a vicious dunk over LeBron. LeBron smartly moved out of the way and allowed DeRozan flush down the slam dunk. VanVleet drained s three-pointer with 0.2 left on the clock. Toronto led Cleveland 79-64.
