After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Raptors 97-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
