After Action Report
The Raptors handled the Mavericks 121-105. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
