After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors buried the Grizzlies 121-99. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Grizzlies' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
