After Action Report
The Raptors squeaked past the Wizards 115-112. Raptors torched the Wizards on the offensive end. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
