What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
