After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors fended off the Magic 118-109. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
