After Action Report
The Raptors downed the Hornets 114-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
