After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks survived the Raptors 94-92. The tempo dragged the Raptors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
