The Beginning Of the 1st quarter was a breeze for the Cleveland Cavaliers becuase of the offensive and defenisve efford that was made by both Lebron James and Reggie Miller which lead them to a 16-0 lead at the start. And The Raptors center Vlade Divac had no defensive efford toward his defensive matcup against Chris Anderson which scored 32 points. And the Cavs held a strong 24 point lead to end the 1st quater.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But at the 2nd quarter it didn't seem to easy for the Cavs espically since their coach benched Reggie Miller with 3 fouls his sub for Chucky Atkins and only 3 Minutes remaining on the clock. But with the direct and beautiful plays Chucky Atkins assists the Cavs they managed to keep their lead against the Raptors, but it wasnt so much like the 1st quarter as it was only 12 points.

Nothing spectacular happened in the 3rd quarter seemed their were good defense and offense on both sides of the feild. And the Cavs were a bit better on offense which expanded the lead again to 16.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The final quarter was by far the best quarter for the Raptors because not only were they able to cut the Cavaliers lead they tied it up in the beginning of the 4th. And Reggie Miller Retured!!!! The biggest advantage was by 7 minutes left in the quarter
Lebron James gets fouled out for reaching and was subed for
Keith Van Horn. And
Reggie Miller got fouled out with 3 minutes left on the clock for defensive foul and was subed for
Chucky Atkins. And with 2 minutes left
Jason Richardson intentionally fouled
Jason Terry and was fouled out and subed for
Penny Hardaway. And when the final minute was about to end it was nothing but intentional fouls from both sides of the court which stoped the time and gave both teams some easy points. It was 227-232 1 sec left to the clock
Penny Hardaway on the inbound, passes to
Voshon Lenard who was standin behind the art, and
Lenard shoots the 3....And nothing but net at the buzzer beater.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But The Excellent offense came from the Raptors where they have 3 players that have more than 50 points
G. Green (57), M. Ginobilli(55), J. Terry73, that's huge =D.
