In Toronto, the Raptors took care of the Mavericks 116-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
