The Raptors edged the Knicks 115-106. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
