Brandon Ingram poured in a season-best 37 points, including 15 in a dominant third quarter, to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 110–99 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night — extending Toronto’s winning streak to eight games.
Scottie Barnes added 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 12 and Immanuel Quickley contributed 11 as the Raptors continued their red-hot stretch, winning 12 of their last 13. With the win, Toronto also completed its first season sweep of Cleveland since 2019–20.
The Cavaliers struggled offensively. Donovan Mitchell finished with 17 points but shot just 6-for-20, including 3-for-12 from deep. Jaylon Tyson added 15, while Evan Mobley and Nae’Qwan Tomlin each scored 14. Lonzo Ball endured a rough night, making only 3 of 15 shots.
Toronto closed the second quarter on a 13–2 run, taking a 57–54 halftime lead. Ingram then took over in the third, hitting six shots — capped by a late 3-pointer that stretched the Raptors’ advantage to 88–74, their largest of the game.
The Raptors were without RJ Barrett, who is sidelined with a sprained right knee suffered Sunday against Brooklyn. Tests showed no major damage, coach Darko Rajaković said. Jakob Poeltl returned from back soreness to grab 13 rebounds.
Cleveland remained shorthanded, missing Darius Garland, De’Andre Hunter, and Jarrett Allen, among others, on the second night of a back-to-back.
