After Action Report

The Raptors rolled past the Wizards 133-111. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
