After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets blew the doors off the Raptors 121-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
