CLEVELAND (AP) — Jamison Battle scored 20 points, including a pair of 3-pointers that helped the Toronto Raptors pull away in the final two minutes of a 112-101 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Cup opener for both teams Friday night.
The Cavaliers, who were without All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell and center Jarrett Allen because of injuries, were within four when Battle made a 3 with 1:07 remaining and hit another half a minute later for a 108-98 lead. Battle made all seven of his shots, six from long range.
RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram also scored 20 points apiece for the Raptors, who stopped a four-game losing streak that followed a season-opening win.
Evan Mobley scored 29 points and D'Andre Hunter added 26 for the Cavaliers. Mitchell didn't play due to left hamstring
