With their season hanging in the balance, the Toronto Raptors made a spirited run in the fourth quarter of Game 4 against the Cavs on Sunday to cut Cleveland’s lead to eight. But LeBron James did not allow the Cavs to lose.

Sizing up P.J. Tucker, James hit the Raptors forward with a series of crossovers and then drilled a three-pointer, which turned out to be a dagger of a shot as it ensured that Cleveland would maintain their lead for the rest of the game.
