After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors knocked off the Clippers 119-118. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
