The Raptors survived the Hornets 124-123 in overtime. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
