After Action Report
The Raptors squeaked past the Hawks 127-126. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Raptors' 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.
