After Action Report

The Hornets blew the doors off the Raptors 115-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
