After Action Report

The Raptors snuck past the Cavaliers 100-99 in overtime. Every possession went the Raptors way. The Raptors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
