After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors snuck past the Hornets 132-128 in double overtime. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
