After Action Report
The Raptors held off the Cavaliers 114-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
