After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors blew the doors off the Knicks 117-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Raptors steamroller is in full effect right now; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
