Okay, look, I like the Charlotte Hornets. Kemba Walker way is too good to languish in obscurity. They’ve got a fun bench unit with cool young dudes like Miles Bridges, Malik Monk and Willy Hernangomez. But, I mean, come on. The Hornets? Against these Raptors? Yeah, right.
The Raptors controlled from the opening tip of their 127-106 win over Charlotte tonight. Serge Ibaka won the tap, Kyle Lowry got open, Danny Green delivered the ball, Lowry hit the open three and the Raptors never looked back.
