Toronto Raptors' Scottie Barnes made clutch free throws in the final minute and finished with 23 points, matching teammate Brandon Ingram's total, to lead the team to a 93-89 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The win ties the first-round playoff series at two games apiece. Barnes also recorded 9 rebounds and 6 assists, while RJ Barrett added 18 points. Despite a poor shooting night from beyond the arc (4-of-30), the Raptors managed to pull through. For the Cavaliers, Donovan Mitchell scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, and James Harden added 19 points, but 18 team turnovers proved costly. Mitchell missed two critical shots in the final 25 seconds, including a potentially game-tying three-pointer. Game 5 will be held in Cleveland on April 29th.
