After Action Report
The Raptors blew the doors off the Bulls 116-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
