Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 111-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets in the first of three preseason games for the 2020-21 season.
One — Hiccups: It was hardly a pretty performance, and it very much had all the hallmarks of a preseason game. Toronto came out of the game slow, giving up an unsightly 22-0 run to the Hornets while falling into a huge deficit, but the Raptors found their level and cruised to the win. Charlotte very much looked like an unfamiliar group with a new point guard that hadn’t played since March.
