If you were still feeling the high of last night's NCAA Championship game and needed to take a night off from hoops to calm down, you made a solid decision. Toronto's 96-90 win over the Hornets Tuesday night was never really in doubt - despite a fourth quarter rampage Charlotte rampage - and was never all that entertaining, either.
The Raptors were simply the better of two teams that were out of sorts.
Charlotte had a legitimate excuse for being off-kilter. Nic Batum missed the game with a knee injury, and as it turns out, having your offensive catalyst and best wing defender available is important.
