After Action Report

The Warriors squeaked past the Raptors 102-99. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. The Warriors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
