After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors fended off the Cavaliers 121-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
