After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Raptors 96-85. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
