After Action Report
The Raptors took care of the Hornets 111-101. Raptors' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
