After Action Report
The Raptors blew the doors off the Hornets 130-103. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
