After Action Report
The Raptors snuck past the Knicks 107-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat; Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
