After Action Report
In Toronto, the Jazz squeaked past the Raptors 113-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
