After Action Report

The Raptors buried the Warriors 130-97. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Warriors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
