After Action Report
The Raptors handled the Bulls 103-93. Lineup balance gave the Raptors a clear synergy edge. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Raptors. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
