The Toronto Raptors will attempt to extend their winning streak to five games in what has been an uncomfortable setting when they visit the Charlotte Hornets for an afternoon game Sunday In Charlotte, N.C.
The Raptors have played three games at 1 p.m. or earlier this season and, at least in the eyes of coach Dwane Casey, haven't looked particularly sharp in any.
That's a big reason why Casey delayed the team flight to Charlotte on Saturday until after he was able to put the players through an early workout.
"You got to be ready to be a pro, understand how it feels, what you have to do to get ready to play," he explained.
