After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Raptors 117-92. Hornets' offense had its way with the Raptors. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
