CLEVELAND -- How sweep it is.
After being taken to the brink of elimination in a seven-game series with the Indiana Pacers in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers made quick work of the No. 1 seed Toronto Raptors, completing a four-game sweep with a 128-93 blowout victory in Game 4 at Quicken Loans Arena on Monday night.
