After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Raptors snuck past the Cavaliers 103-98. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
