After Action Report

In Dallas, the Raptors demolished the Mavericks 125-79. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Raptors ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Raptors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
