After Action Report
In a track meet, the Raptors edged the Hornets 120-114. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- 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.
