After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors buried the Heat 136-99. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Raptors ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
