After Action Report

The Raptors squeaked past the Hornets 100-97. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
