After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors held off the Cavaliers 114-105. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
