Cleveland's Kenny Atkinson praised Evan Mobley's work ethic and desire to improve during a radio interview on Friday.

Toronto was on the second leg of a back-to-back and came into the game hobbling without a full lineup. The All-Star break could not come at a better time for the Raptors who have Brandon Ingram out with an ankle injury and Jakob Poeltl out with a hip injury. There is no timetable for their return and their absence was felt Wednesday night.
