After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Raptors survived the Spurs 96-91. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
