After Action Report
The Raptors snuck past the Pacers 102-99. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
