After Action Report
The Raptors rolled past the Wizards 109-89. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
