After Action Report
The Raptors buried the Hornets 118-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
