After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Raptors squeaked past the Hornets 106-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
