After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors snuck past the Cavaliers 101-97. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Raptors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
