Collin Sexton scored 28 points and all five Cleveland starters scored in double figures in the Cavaliers' 126-101 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday in Cleveland.
Kevin Love, with 16 points and 18 rebounds, recorded his ninth double-double in 14 games this season. Love also was a force on the defensive end, drawing four offensive fouls.
Cedi Osman added 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Ante Zizic compiled 17 points and seven boards.
Kawhi Leonard led the Raptors with 25 points and nine rebounds. Pascal Siakam added 15 points, and Kyle Lowry scored 14 for the Raptors, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.
Toronto's Serge Ibaka and Cleveland's Marquese Chriss were ejected for throwing punches near the end of the third period.
Ibaka and Chriss collided while going for a full-court pass near the Raptors' basket. Chriss appeared to say something as Ibaka got up. Ibaka grabbed Chriss by the throat and punches were thrown by both players.
None of the punches landed.
Cleveland took a 91-77 lead into the fourth quarter. The lead grew to 108-88 on Osman's layup and free throw.
The Cavaliers took control early in the second period. Jordan Clarkson and David Nwaba hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give Cleveland a 31-26 lead.
