After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 130-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Trail Blazers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
