After Action Report

In Orlando, the Raptors survived the Magic 94-90. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in; Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · 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.
