Raptors use late push in Game 4 to even series with Cavs

The Toronto Raptors stormed back in the fourth quarter to claim a vital 93-89 Game 4 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.

Brandon Ingram scored 23 points on 6-of-23 shooting as the hosts tied the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. Scottie Barnes also recorded 23 points on 6-of-15 shooting to go with nine rebounds, six assists, and three blocks.

With Cleveland leading 84-76 in the final frame, Toronto ended the game on a 17-5 run.

Donovan Mitchell led the Cavs with 20 points on 6-of-24 shooting, with 12 of those points coming in the fourth. Backcourt mate James Harden chipped in 19 points and eight assists but also registered a game-high seven turnovers.

Cleveland shot just 37% from the field and 25% from deep. Toronto was even worse, shooting 32% from the field and 13% from behind the arc on 30 attempts in an affair that was short on shotmaking. The Raptors missed 14 straight 3-point attempts to start the game before RJ Barrett hit one with 8:31 left in the opening half.

Barrett scored 18 points, and rookie Collin Murray-Boyles was influential at both ends with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Ingram, who's struggled in the series, missed nine of his first 10 shots before finishing the half with three consecutive makes, including a buzzer-beating triple to give the Raptors a 38-36 lead at the break.

The first-round series returns to Cleveland on Wednesday for Game 5.
