The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> took down the Toronto Raptors<\/a> 114-102 in Game 7 on Sunday, then made sure to poke fun at one of Toronto\u2019s biggest fans: Drake.<\/p>\n

Cleveland shared a photo on social media of an ice structure similar to what Drake put in downtown Toronto on April 20 as part of his \u201cIceman\u201d album rollout. Located on 81 Bond Street, Drake posted a picture of it on Instagram with the caption: \u201cRelease Date Inside.\u201d Fans proceeded to find the structure before it melted to search for the date.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers structure underwent a \u201ccross section scan\u201d with findings that trolled the Raptors and Drake. Most notably, the ice block included a \u201cW\u201d in the center of it. Specimen status read \u201cremoved,\u201d while the former site was listed as \u201cDundas\/Bond St.,\u201d the location of Drake\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n

The final conclusion of the team\u2019s scan? \u201cCavs in 7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toronto referenced the \u201cIceman\u201d rollout by including faux icicles on Drake\u2019s courtside seats at Scotiabank Arena during an April 12 game and in Game 4 against the Cavs. Other teams have participated in Drake\u2019s ice trend, including the New York Giants during the NFL draft.<\/p>\n

Drake was named the Raptors\u2019 global ambassador in 2013 and has been a frequent attendee of games through the years. However, he didn\u2019t attend any home matchups this postseason.<\/p>\n

Cleveland center Jarrett Allen<\/a> led the team with 22 points and 19 rebounds, and Donovan Mitchell<\/a> put up 22 himself. The Cavaliers will now face the Detroit Pistons<\/a> in the second round.<\/p>\n

Drake\u2019s album is set to release on May 15 — and any references to Cleveland seemingly wouldn\u2019t come as a surprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers took down the Toronto Raptors 114-102 in Game 7 on Sunday, then made sure to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1481,996,48,1287],"class_list":{"0":"post-30723","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto","8":"tag-cleveland-cavaliers","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-toronto","11":"tag-toronto-raptors"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
