After Action Report
The Raptors ran roughshod over the Nuggets 124-90. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
