Toronto can prefer Brandon Ingram next to Scottie Barnes without pretending the core is finished. The fan read now runs through Ingram's foot, RJ Barrett's contract clock, and whether Gradey Dick can become cheap spacing again.

The Game 1 double-double matters, but the series clue is simpler: do Duren's dives, putbacks, dunks and back-line blocks force Cleveland to protect the rim before Detroit even needs a second action?
