- Toronto Raptors won Game 4 93‑89, tying the series 2‑2 despite a 13.3% 3‑point conversion (4‑of‑30), the lowest in playoff history with ≥25 attempts.
- Brandon Ingram hit three of Toronto’s four made threes, accounting for the only second‑half 3‑point for the Raptors.
- Scottie Barnes posted 23 points and limited Donovan Mitchell to 1‑for‑8, with the Cavs shooting just 3‑for‑12 when Barnes contested shots.
- ESPN Research recorded the Raptors’ 2‑of‑21 open‑3 attempts as the worst mark since tracking began in 2014 (minimum 20 attempts).
- Darko Rajaković emphasized “find a way to win” after halftime, noting the team’s 27% field‑goal and 15% 3‑point shooting at the break, despite the actual 32%/13.3% final numbers.
Why it matters: Raptors gain a home‑court win and momentum, while the Cavs lose a chance to seize a 3‑0 lead; the 13.3% 3‑point rate forces Cleveland to defend a tied series in Game 5, boosting betting odds on Toronto.
