After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Raptors 109-102. 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 pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
