After Action Report
The Raptors took care of the Rockets 109-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
