After Action Report
The Raptors ran roughshod over the Nets 125-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
