After Action Report
The Raptors rolled past the Timberwolves 125-100. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Raptors. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
