The Cavaliers, considered the best team at the start of the season, have struggled to a 5-7 record with talk of players having bad body language and playing in the dark. LeBron James remains optimistic that the team can turn things around before their next game against Orlando, insisting that he will not allow his own negativity to spread to his teammates. The Raptors defeated the Cavaliers, leading at halftime and by as many as 19 points in the fourth quarter, with their fans in attendance cheering loudly for Toronto in the game's final minutes.

1. The Cavaliers, considered the league's best team when the season began, have
been hit with plenty of adversity. Cleveland is 5-7 and there is already talk of
the team playing in the dark and the players having bad body language. The
Cavaliers have a day off to think about their issues before hosting Orlando on
Monday.
Despite the problems, James is convinced better days are ahead.
"I'm very optimistic," he said. "I'm very positive, more positive than I thought
I'd be right now. We'll look at what we did wrong, the things we did right and
be ready (for Monday). It's still too early for me. ... I can't be negative at all.
Once I crack, it trickles down to everybody else, I would never do that to these
guys.“
Toronto led 56-54 at halftime and took control midway in the third quarter.
The Raptors were up by as many as 19 points in the fourth.
"We knew that train would come out roaring, but we slowed them down in the
second quarter," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. "Our guys were strong
enough to withstand their onslaught.“
In the game's final minutes, the loudest noise at Quicken Loans Arena came
from several hundred fans who made the trip from Toronto and chanted, "Let's
Go Raptors."
