After Action Report
The Raptors rolled past the Spurs 136-108. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; the Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
