After Action Report
The Raptors stunned the Suns 105-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Raptors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
