Earlier today, the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers boarded their flight to Toronto for tomorrow’s Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup against the Raptors. Currently, the Cavs are leading the Raptors, two games to none.
Prior to departing for Canada, J.R. Smith shared some excellent news with regards to his daughter, Dakota, who was born almost five months prematurely in February. Smith posted a progress report for Dakota, who is now 122 days old. The smooth-shooting guard says that his daughter is now over six pounds in weight.
