After Action Report
In a track meet, the Raptors survived the Nuggets 102-97. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
