After Action Report
The Raptors survived the Bulls 112-108. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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.
