After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Raptors 84-82. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
