After Action Report
The Raptors blew the doors off the Pistons 120-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
