After Action Report

The Raptors fended off the Mavericks 117-111. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
