After Action Report
The Raptors edged the Heat 102-95. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
