It didn’t take much production for Merrill to conclude as one of Cleveland’s best offensive performers on Sunday. In 19 minutes, he provided his usual three-point shooting and was the only positive contributor off the bench in terms of plus-minus. Merill didn’t accumulate many other stats, leaving his three-point shooting as the primary value he brought in Game 4.

Harden played inconsistently throughout Sunday’s loss. Six of his seven turnovers came in the first half, which is also when the majority of his points were scored. And while the former league MVP spent most of the second half making plays for his teammates, his scoring production down the stretch was absent and missed by a Cleveland offense that needed answers. Harden has now played unspectacularly in two straight losses. He’ll need to get back on track in Game 5 to help Cleveland end its losing streak.

Mitchell was one of many Cavaliers who struggled on Sunday. He wasn’t great from the three-point line and was very inefficient inside the arc. He even committed a late turnover when trying to advance the ball past halfcourt. Overall, it was simply an off-night for the league’s seventh-leading scorer during the regular season. Cleveland could use a bounce-back game from him in Game 5.

Murray-Boyles provided another big lift for the Raptors off the bench on Sunday. On the heels of a 22-point, eight-rebound effort in Game 3, he once again battled on the glass and showcased his motor, leading to his first double-double of the postseason. The rookie forward has scored in double figures in all four games against the Cavs in this series and has become more productive on the glass each game. He should remain a big part of the rotation moving forward.

A late second-quarter flurry and an important three-pointer late in the fourth quarter meant that despite his offensive struggles, at least his contributions came at pivotal moments. Ingram didn’t tally any assists, meaning his impact on offense was mostly as a scorer. He’ll have another chance to find his rhythm on Wednesday in Game 5.

Both teams struggled to score in Sunday’s contest, but behind Barnes’ 23 points, the Raptors did just enough to win and even the series. The fifth-year forward earned nearly half of his points total at the charity stripe, with the remainder coming inside the three-point line. He tallied more rebounds and assists than any other Raptors player and was impactful on the defensive end of the floor. Now tied at two games apiece, the series flips back to Cleveland for Game 5, where Barnes will look to lead his team to a third straight victory.

Quickley isn’t going to play at all in the Raptors’ first round series against the Cavaliers. The 26-year-old point guard suffered a hamstring injury during the regular season finale and missed the first three games of the series. Now Quickley has been ruled out for the rest of the series after having a setback during the rehab process. His absence remains a major blow to the Raptors and a break for the Cavaliers.

Despite struggling with his shooting, Mobley made some solid contributions in the loss. He was Cleveland’s best rebounder, led the team in assists, and tied a team-high in steals across his 33 minutes. He was one of several Cavaliers to have a tough time as a scorer, but he’ll have a chance to bounce back in Game 4.

Harden struggled throughout Game 3’s loss. He had little impact as a passer, shot inefficiently from the floor, and committed eight turnovers along the way. Even in the unspectacular showing, he finished as Cleveland’s leading scorer in his 33 minutes. Surely, he’ll look to dial up a better performance on Sunday.

Mitchell was held to his lowest scoring total of the series on Thursday. Poor shooting from beyond the arc was the main cause of his struggles, and his lack of free-throw attempts didn’t help either. If we’re looking for clear positives, Mitchell finished his two-point shots at a high rate and was decent on the glass. Otherwise, it was an unspectacular game for him. He’ll look to bounce back on Sunday.

Murray-Boyles tallied more points on Thursday than the rest of Toronto’s bench combined. He shot the ball with great efficiency inside the arc, leading to the third-highest scoring mark on the team. The rookie also dominated the offensive glass and showcased his high motor. Given his production in the win, he likely earned a chance to play a big role again in Game 4.

Barnes put on an offensive clinic on Thursday. In his 35 minutes, he tallied double-digit assists and only one turnover, while using a trio of three-point shots to help efficiently match RJ Barrett’s 33 points. Barnes was solid on the glass and collected a couple of stocks in the process, leaving him with a well-rounded performance in the win. He’ll look to land similar production on Sunday in Game 4.

Barrett tied a team-high in points on Thursday, thanks to his sensational shooting from beyond the arc — the seventh-year guard out of Duke nearly accounted for half of his team’s 14 three-pointers. Some of his biggest impacts came in the fourth quarter, when he converted all six of his shot attempts for 16 points, ultimately helping Toronto blow the game open and cruise to a victory. The Raptors will continue to lean on Barrett on the offensive end throughout the series.

With Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) unavailable, Walter played 28 minutes off the bench in each of the first two games of this series. If the second-year guard can’t play in Game 3, his minutes would go to Quickley if the starting guard can return. However, if Quickley and Walter can’t play, the Raptors would have to turn to AJ Lawson, Jamison Battle or Gradey Dick to enter the rotation.

Quickley did not play in the first two games of this series, and the Raptors missed him dearly. Jamal Shead has been the replacement in the starting lineup, but Quickley’s presence helps unlock Brandon Ingram offensively. With Ingram struggling in the first two games, getting Quickley back on the floor could be huge for Toronto.
