Fear the Newsletter: The Cavs are up 2-0 on the Raptors again

Here's today's Fear the Newsletter, where we will always try to set you up like Kyrie passing to LeBron off the glass.

TALK TO ME: The Cavs, just like last year against the Raptors, are up 2-0 after a 125-103 win.

LEGEND HAS IT: The Cavs are off Thursday, but will travel to Toronto ahead of Friday's Game 3.

ALL DUE RESPECT: Spurs 121, Rockets 96 as the series is now tied 1-1.

Tonight's games: Celtics-Wizards Game 3 with Boston leading 2-0. Jazz-Warriors Game 2 with Golden State leading 1-0.

JOB WELL DONE: Kyrie's Game 3 kicks were inspired by 'Grease'. Kyrie is also getting comfortable. Plus, an interview with Canton Charge head coach Nate Reinking.

CROWN: FiveThirtyEight's Chris Herring on why the Clippers' demise isn't Chris Paul's fault. The Step Back's Andrew Tobolowsky on the inherent nature of playoff basketball.
