After Action Report

The Raptors edged the Grizzlies 93-85. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
