After Action Report
In Toronto, the Hornets buried the Raptors 107-86. Hornets torched the Raptors on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
