Cleveland kept twisting the knife Monday, posting an animation of Cavaliers players orbiting the CN Tower on a golden ring. The caption read, \u201cTurned the 6 the other way up\u201d \u2014 a reference to Drake\u2019s 2016 track \u201c9.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Toronto rapper is the Raptors\u2019 global ambassador, and he\u2019s been teasing \u201cIceman\u201d at recent games. Last month, his regular courtside seats at Scotiabank Arena were sealed in sculpted ice, turning his empty spot right into a viral spectacle.<\/p>\n

Cleveland won 114-102 on Sunday, with Toronto missing starters Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley, who were out with injuries.<\/p>\n
