After Action Report

The Raptors survived the Nuggets 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
