After Action Report
In a track meet, the Raptors rolled past the Nets 130-107. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
