After Action Report

In Dallas, the Raptors handled the Mavericks 111-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · 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.
