After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors buried the Cavaliers 110-89. Lineup balance gave the Raptors a clear synergy edge. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
