Early on, the game was fairly even, and characterized by fast‑paced action that was at times not pretty to watch.
Whether it was the layoff or Finals jitters, neither team was sharp to start the game.
But as the first half rolled on, the Raptors started to get more comfortable, and took a 10‑point lead into the break.
Game 2 will be played at 12pm on Monday.
