After a demoralizing loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, where the Toronto Raptors set a record for most points in a half against the Cleveland franchise, they look to bounce back for a huge Eastern Conference win. Paul Pierce was adamant on what they need to do to overcome the hurdles they face.

“The Toronto Raptors have to get this win just for their psyche, I mean [they] have to say ‘we are tired of all the bullying that Cleveland is doing to us. We have to stand up for ourselves.’”

Having confidence is key. It isn’t a fluke that the Raptors are the number one seed, they have to prove it come game time.

“At least if you get a win you can be like look…we can beat them!”
