After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors survived the Clippers 119-114. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
