After Action Report

The Raptors shocked the Nets 110-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
