After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers downed the Raptors 104-91. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
