After Action Report
The Raptors survived the Heat 124-122. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
