After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors demolished the Bulls 135-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Raptors. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
