After Action Report
The Raptors buried the Hornets 130-86. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
