The last time the Toronto Raptors were on a winning streak, it came off two straight wins against the Charlotte Hornets during the preseason. Coincidence?
The Raptors and the Hornets doubled down with their second close game in two nights, and the results were the same, with the Raptors winning 116-113. Norman Powell woke up from his slumber and graced us with his Playoff Powell/Norm God performance, as he dropped 24 points off the bench (+22!!!), and tied his career-high with six made three-pointers. Chris Boucher almost had a double-double, adding 20 points and nine rebounds off the bench.
