The Raptors upended the Hornets 107-100. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. The Raptors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
