After Action Report
The Raptors downed the Hornets 124-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
