After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets took care of the Raptors 114-97. Hornets' offense had its way with the Raptors. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
