After Action Report

The Raptors survived the Nets 142-140 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
