After Action Report

The Raptors fended off the Hornets 117-111. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
