CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers are far more focused on how theyll finish. They are not complaining about their start, though.With Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson sitting courtside, LeBron James came up one rebound shy of a triple-double and Kyrie Irving scored 24 points to lead Cleveland to a 121-117 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night, making the Cavs 9-1 to match their best start after 10 games.James had 28 points and 14 assists as the Cavs improved to 2-0 this season against the Raptors, the team they beat in last seasons Eastern Conference finals and the one they could meet there again in 2017.The Cavs last went 9-1 in 1976-77.I dont really pay attention to the records, said James. But I do pay attention to the teams were playing, and what they bring to the table.The Raptors bring a lot, and are one of the only teams in the East capable of going to toe-to-toe with the defending NBA champions. However, Toronto came up short against Cleveland just as it did in last years playoffs.Im not encouraged by any loss, said Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, who finished with 28 points and nine assists. We want to win every single game. Every time we touch the floor we want to win games.Channing Fryes 3-pointer from the top of the key with 59 seconds left put the Cavs up by one. Cleveland then buckled down on defense, holding the Raptors scoreless until letting Lowry make a layup with 2.8 seconds left.Kevin Love added 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Cavs, who have already had their share of tight games.Were one of the teams at the top thats going to get every teams best shot, Love said. Thats a team we have history with. Theyre well-coached. They know how to play and you saw them fight back tonight. Thats the kind of tension in playing those type of teams early thats going to be good for us. Weve had certain lapses in our first 10 games that we need to clean up. But were getting teams best shots home or away and well be a better team for it.DeMar DeRozan added 26 for the Raptors, who complained about fouls called against Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas in the final two minutes and a possible goaltending violation against the Cavs that wasnt called in the closing seconds. Toronto came in 5-0 in games where Lowry and DeRozan combined for more than 50 points.Lowry was also whistled for a technical in the final two minutes.The ball bounced of my foot, Lowry said. I wasnt trying to slam it. I dribbled the ball and it bounced of my foot. Its not like it went far. Coach (Dwane Casey) caught the ball. Whatever, keep my money.The Cavs made 13 3-pointers and have dropped at least 10 in all 10 games, extending their league record to start a season.TIP-INS:Raptors: With so many shooters, and James passing ability, the Cavs can stress defenses to the max. They have that extra point guard on the floor in LeBron, Casey said. He finds people the normal human being doesnt see.Cavaliers: Coach Tyronn Lue is hopeful J.R. Smith can return for Wednesdays game at Indiana. Smith needs three 3-pointers to pass Dirk Nowitzki for 15th place on the career list. ... G/F Mike Dunleavy is off to a rough start in his first season with Cleveland. Acquired from Chicago over the summer, Dunleavy is shooting just 29 percent (8 of28) on 3-pointers. Were not worried about Mike, Lue said. Hes going to find his way.ON THE BENCHThe Raptors played without starting forward DeMarre Carroll, who was given the night off to rest his surgically repaired knee. He also sat out Saturdays game against New York as he continues to recover from right knee surgery.Smith missed his second straight game with a sprained right ankle, leaving Cleveland without one of its top outside threats and defenders.FINALS TESTOn consecutive nights, the Raptors are taking on the leagues top two teams in Cleveland and Golden State, last seasons finals participants.It should be fun, Casey said. It should be exciting for our players to go against the champion and the runner-up from last year. Its not going to make or break our season. It will help our young guys to get the experience against the two best teams and the two best players in the league this early in the season.Brooklyn is the only other team that will play the Cavs and Warriors on consecutive nights (Dec. 22-23).UP NEXTRaptors: Host Golden State on Wednesday.Cavaliers: Play at Indiana on Wednesday.

The German has claimed victory in the first two races of the season, bringing his winning streak to five races, and beat team-mate Lewis Hamilton by just over a tenth of a second with a 1:38.037 in Shanghai on Friday morning.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel trailed the Mercedes duo in third, while Fernando Alonso made his return from injury to finish 12th in the McLaren. However, P1 was overshadowed by two red flags due to rear left tyre problems.First, Felipe Massa spun off at Turn Six after his tyre came loose, with debris flying off his Williams. Following heavy clean-up work on track and back in the garage the Brazilian returned later on in the session, only to face a failure on the same tyre, at the same corner.Moments later, Kevin Magnussen was also limping back to the pits with the same rear left tyre shredded. Pirelli insisted that Massas issues were not down to simple punctures, instead putting it down to air loss connected to technical trouble. They later confirmed that the Williams and Renault problems were not tyre related.While investigations will continue, McLaren engineers suspected that the Williams problem was due to the tyre rubbing against body work, with Magnussens down to debris on the track.Massa though, was uncertain. We had two punctures. Why? I dont know, he told Sky Sports F1. We are investigating. For sure, something is touching the tyre or the wheel or whatever.We had no idea why we had the first problem. We checked the car and it was ok. But then we had the same problem. Hamilton, who has been handed a five-place grid penalty for the race, set the early pace on the mmedium compound - two tenths faster than Rosberg.ddddddddddddHowever, the world champion was reporting problems as he locked up and span off twice at Turn 11.Following the 30-minute stoppage due to the second red flag there was a flurry of activity at the end of the session, during which Rosberg edged ahead of his team-mate.Even Rosberg encountered issues towards the end of the session, which Mercedes diagnosed as an ignition problem.
