The Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 99-84 Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tyronn Lue had yet to lose a game in his first NBA postseason with the Cavaliers, who were 10-0 and looking invincible, threatening to sweep through the Eastern Conference playoffs on the way to a second straight visit to the finals.
DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points, Bismack Biyombo set a Toronto playoff record with 26 rebounds and the Raptors beat Cleveland 99-84 on Saturday night, handing the Cavaliers their first loss this postseason.
Kyle Lowry scored 20 points, Cory Joseph added 14, and Patrick Patterson and DeMarre Carroll each had 10 for the Raptors. They rebounded in Game 3 after losing the first two games in Cleveland by a combined 50 points.
In Toronto, where "We The North" is a Raptors' rallying cry, a sell-out crowd dressed in red and white T-shirts helped their team improve to 7-2 at home in these playoffs. Game 4 is Monday night at Air Canada Centre.
LeBron James scored 24 points, and J.R. Smith had 22 for the Cavaliers. They won their first 10 playoff games and were trying to match the Los Angeles Lakers' record of 11 straight victories to begin a postseason. The Lakers did it in 1989 and again in 2001.
Game 4 is Monday at 8:30 p.m. in Toronto.
