LeBron beats buzzer, Raptors for 3-0 Cavs lead

CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 38 points, including a one-handed, buzzer-beating bank shot as the Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 105-103 Saturday night.

The win gives Cleveland a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Game 4is Monday at Quicken Loans Arena.

James took an inbounds pass with 8 seconds left and went the length of the floor before pulling up and banking in a floater over a Toronto defender just before the final buzzer.

The Raptors had rallied from a 17-point deficit to pull even on a 3-pointer after Jeff Green missed a late free throw that could have iced the game for the Cavaliers.
