After Action Report
The Warriors downed the Raptors 99-84. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
