After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors handled the Knicks 111-98. Every possession went the Raptors way. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
