After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Raptors 114-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
