After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors took care of the Suns 106-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
