Donovan Mitchell scored 21 points and the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 131-108 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight victory and eighth in the last nine games. Tempers flared at the final buzzer after Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson dunked with four seconds left.

Toronto was on the second leg of a back-to-back and came into the game hobbling without a full lineup. The All-Star break could not come at a better time for the Raptors who have Brandon Ingram out with an ankle injury and Jakob Poeltl out with a hip injury. There is no timetable for their return and their absence was felt Wednesday night.

Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson compared it to the final exam before spring break. Wednesday’s challenge was mental. A test of focus, concentration and maturity. If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site,
