After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Raptors 95-86. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
