After Action Report

The Raptors squeaked past the Grizzlies 118-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
