After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors demolished the Wizards 140-120. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it

- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
