After Action Report

The Hornets fended off the Raptors 118-112 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
