After Action Report

In Dallas, the Raptors squeaked past the Mavericks 119-117. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
