After Action Report
The Raptors outlasted the Cavaliers 104-87. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
