After Action Report
The Raptors rolled past the Mavericks 127-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
