After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Raptors 109-90. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
