After Action Report
The Raptors survived the Knicks 117-114 in overtime. Raptors' offense had its way with the Knicks. Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
