After Action Report

The Warriors downed the Raptors 110-97. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
