Final Prediction

This Game 4 looks evenly balanced after Toronto’s strong comeback performance. The Raptors have clearly adjusted their strategy by attacking the paint and improving their shooting from long range. Playing at home gives them confidence and momentum, making them a serious threat to level the series. However, Cleveland still has the stronger overall squad and experience to respond under pressure. Expect a close contest where both teams score heavily. Cavaliers may edge out the win, but Raptors are likely to cover the spread in what should be another exciting and high-scoring playoff game.
