After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors survived the Hornets 96-95. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
