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.
