After Action Report

In a track meet, the Raptors blew the doors off the Wizards 137-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
