CLEVELAND (AP) – The Cleveland Cavaliers are two wins away from a return trip to the NBA Finals after becoming just the third franchise in NBA history to open 10-0 in a postseason. LeBron James had a triple-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists as the Cavs whipped the Toronto Raptors 108-89. James moved past Shaquille O’Neal into fourth place on the career postseason scoring list and posted his 15th playoff triple-double. Kyrie Irving had 26 points for the Cavaliers, who were tied at 46 before ending the first half on a 16-2 run. Kevin Love added 19 points to the win. The Spurs were the last team to win their first 10 games of a postseason, doing it four years ago. The Lakers did it in 1989 and 2001. The Raptors received little help from Kyle Lowry, who scored just 10 points on 8 of 28 shooting. Lowry missed 14 of his 15 3-point tries. Demar DeRozan had a team-high 22 points for the Raptors, who host Game 3 on Saturday.
