After Action Report
In New York, the Raptors squeaked past the Knicks 102-98. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
