After Action Report
The Raptors squeaked past the Hornets 96-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
