Raptors top Hornets 80-79 after wild final minute

It wouldn’t a Raptors-Hornets game without some shenanigans at the end, right? Last night’s matchup between the Las Vegas Summer League versions of the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets didn’t disappoint.

Well, it may have disappointed if you were looking for actual quality basketball, especially in the first half. It was ugly, as the teams had more turnovers than points partway through the first quarter.

But the second half was a showcase for the Raptors’ new lottery pick, Scottie Barnes, who was sensational in a late 16-4 Raptors run. Then, with the score tied at 79 and 18 seconds on the clock.
