After Action Report

The Raptors survived the Nets 114-113. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
