The Raptors reached the midway point of the NBA regular season with a 132-120 win over Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.
Shoot ’em up
If the defence isn’t locking down opponents, it’s wise to just outshoot them at key junctures, which is what the Raptors did with the game in the balance. Two three-pointers from O.G. Anunoby and one from Fred VanVleet in about a 90-second span with about four minutes left gave the Raptors some breathing room.
They were part of a season-high 20 made three-pointers from the Raptors, who seem to be overcoming a teamwide shooting slump.
