Nothing says boring for the Raptors like a late-March game with no real stakes against the Charlotte Hornets. We can suppose the latter team feels like they’re still battling for a playoff spot, and we can assume the former is happy to finally have a full complement of players available, but the original thesis holds: it’s hard to get too up for a game like that. This goes a long way towards explaining the Raptors’ performance — and the ridiculous final play — in their 115-114 loss to the Hornets on Sunday evening: Toronto just wanted to make it interesting.
