After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Raptors snuck past the Hornets 109-105 in overtime. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
