After Action Report

The Raptors buried the Heat 111-78. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
