TORONTO -- The Cavaliers were mostly successful in one of their small-item goals in Game 1 by limiting Toronto's C.J. Miles.

Miles, the sharpshooter off the Raptors' vaunted bench, made two 3s and finished with six points in Cleveland's 113-112 overtime win. He was 2-of-6 shooting overall.

Miles has a history of killing the Cavs. In four regular-season games as a Pacer last year, for instance, Miles averaged 17 points against Cleveland.

Since leaving the Cavs following the 2013-14 season, Miles has never averaged fewer than 12 points against his former team. He averaged 12 points in three games with the Raptors during the regular season.

The one time he's struggled against the Cavs was during the playoffs last season with Indiana, when he averaged just 7.3 points and shot .313 from 3-point range.

"He's a specialist at shooting the basketball so we've got to take him out of the series because he can get dangerous," coach Tyronn Lue said before Game 2 of this Eastern Conference semifinal. "He can make shots in abundance. So we've got to be aware of him at all times."

Also, Lue said he spoke to big man Larry Nance Jr. before Game 1 to let him know he was out of the rotation because of the emergence of Tristan Thompson. Thompson started Game 7 of the last series against the Pacers and played huge minutes in Game 1 against the Raptors -- and posted double doubles each time.

Nance, 25, didn't play at all in Game 1. He's averaging 5.1 points and 4.4 rebounds off the bench.

"We talked and discussed it," Lue said. "Just said he has to be ready, understand what we're trying to do. From Tristan's performance in Game 7, I thought he earned the right to play and he produced in Game 1. Everyone's got to be ready. You never know when your name is going to be called, foul trouble, anything.

"(Nance) understood and he's good with it."
