After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors buried the Pacers 106-78. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
