After Action Report
The Raptors fended off the Suns 124-117. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
