After Action Report
The Raptors outlasted the Hornets 114-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
