Nail-biting win reveals the challenges and promise of Raptors' playoff hopes

Mark it down, Raptors Nation. That's four straight wins once again for the boys up north. They just squeezed past a respectfully tough Charlotte Hornets squad on November 17, where Toronto made some crucial defensive plays down the stretch to secure the 110-108 victory. The Raptors improve to a 9-5 record in the Eastern Conference, which places them in a very desirable position as the third seed, and just three games out from the first seed.
