After Action Report
The Raptors survived the Hornets 122-120. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
