Raptors obliterate Cavaliers behind Lou Williams' career-high 36

The Toronto Raptors emerged victorious in a battle of two Eastern Conference giants Saturday, blowing out the Cleveland Cavaliers by a score of 110-93.

Coming off a frustrating loss to the Washington Wizards on Friday, the Cavaliers stormed out to a 26-8 lead in the first quarter behind a voracious home crowd.

However, that's when Lou Williams checked in for the Raptors, sparking an unthinkable 102-67 run for the eventual winners.

Williams poured in a career-high 36 points off the bench on 9-of-19 shooting from the field. He utterly abused the Cavaliers' defenders, shaking and baking his way to open jumpshots and endless trips to the free-throw line. He sunk all 15 of his free-throw attempts on the night, and finished as a game-high +37.

The Raptors' star backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan also chipped in, pouring in 23 and 20 points respectively. DeRozan struggled with his shot for much of game, but shifted into a distributor role midway through the second quarter and helped turn the tides in favor of the Raptors. He also took on the responsibility of checking LeBron James.

For the Cavaliers, their second-consecutive loss came courtesy of their supporting cast. The star trio of James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving combined to score 59 points on 50 percent shooting from the field, but the remainder of their team managed just 34 in total. In particular, the shooting guard spot continued to be a sinkhole for the Cavs, as Shawn Marion and Dion Waiters combined to shoot just 3-of-15 from the field.

With the game still within reach for the Cavaliers with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Cavaliers head coach David Blatt opted to sub out James, who did not re-enter. A noticeably frustrated James finished the night with 15 points and five turnovers.

The win pushes Toronto into a tie for the league's best record at 11-2. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers slip to 5-7 on the year after dropping their second-straight contest by double digits.
