After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Raptors 107-95. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
