After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Raptors 93-91. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors are in a full-on tailspin; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
