After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors snuck past the Trail Blazers 88-87. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
