LaMelo Ball (14 points, 11 assists) and PJ Washington (20 points, 11 rebounds) notched double doubles, but the Charlotte Hornets couldn’t complete the come back over the Toronto Raptors and their 20 made 3-pointers. They lost 111-108.
The Hornets came out sloppy on the defensive end, allowing some really easy looks for the Raptors. By quarter’s end, the Raptors had hit 8-of-14 3-pointers. Offensively, the Hornets didn’t look quite as connected without Gordon Hayward on the floor to help move the offense. They were still able to grind out some buckets before getting a jolt from LaMelo Ball’s passing.
