After Action Report

The Raptors squeaked past the Timberwolves 107-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
