After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors ran roughshod over the Pacers 117-97. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
