After Action Report

The Raptors pulled away from the Kings 104-94. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
