After Action Report
The Raptors outlasted the Cavaliers 98-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
