For a team like the Toronto Raptors — mired in a losing record and struggling to shoot — nothing feels better than seeing a struggling team come into your gym and provide you the opportunity to get right.
That’s exactly what happened on Tuesday, as the Raptors welcomed the Charlotte Hornets and promptly dropped a season-high 20 threes on their head. Toronto’s defense was suspect, the process wasn’t perfect, but the result was their second straight win, 132-120.
The Raptors, now 18-23 and one game back of the Bulls for the No. 10 seed, finish a two-game set against the Hornets on Thursday night.
