After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors blew the doors off the Jazz 104-82. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
