After Action Report
The Raptors outlasted the Mavericks 104-86. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
