After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets buried the Raptors 116-96. Hornets' offense had its way with the Raptors. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
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.
