After Action Report
The Raptors snuck past the Rockets 124-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' 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.
