After Action Report
The Raptors held off the Heat 106-99. Raptors' offense had its way with the Heat. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
