After Action Report

The Cavaliers held off the Raptors 108-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Cavaliers · 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.
