After Action Report
The Raptors edged the Knicks 121-112 in overtime. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
