After Action Report
The Raptors held off the Rockets 128-120. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
