After four consecutive consecutive defeats, the Hornets, who were greatly hit, sat at home and ushered in the Challenge of the Raptors during the five-game winning streak.
For the Hornets, the three-goal Lamelo Ball was selected as an All-Star, and whether the team can defend the home court and end the losing streak has also attracted a lot of fan and media attention.
On the other hand, on the Side of the Raptors, the main players poured out of the nest, and the Raptors were also ready to do a lot on the road, taking advantage of the chase to win 6 consecutive wins!
Finally, after four quarters of competition, with a wave of 18-6 scoring climax, the away-oriented Raptors, in the first half, took the lead in the first half, and achieved a 15-point lead.
Although after returning from the second half, Rozier + Bridges exploded in the third quarter, leading the Hornets to a 14-3 counter-attack that narrowed the gap to single digits.
But helplessly at the end of the final showdown, Siakam + Anunoby ushered in an outbreak, the Raptors took the opportunity to take advantage of the momentum, once again established a double-digit score advantage, and the Hornets could not catch up with the points, had to lose.
In the end, the Raptors also won 116-101 on the road to the Hornets, which was worth the trip to win 6 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the opponent Hornets 5 consecutive defeats!
In this game, the Raptors continued the good momentum during the winning streak, playing a team performance of five people scoring in double figures and four people with 20+ points, and winning a 15-point victory.
In the case of siakam + Barnes + Boucher and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the play of the three cores VanVleet + Anunoby + Trent Jr. is particularly critical!
In this game, Van Jordan was full of firepower, starting 36 minutes, shooting six three-pointers, and delivering an all-round performance of 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Rationally speaking, in the pairing with the three-goal Lamelo Ball, whether in terms of personal data or team performance, Van Jordan can be said to have completely defeated the young All-Star guard!
In addition, the recent game against the Hornets, the recent hot state of the little Trent played a crucial role.
Trent Jr. was very efficient, shooting 8 of 16 from the field and hitting 4 three-pointers in the middle and outside the line, not to mention, but also bombed the team's high 24 points, plus 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Among them, in the third quarter, he scored 11 points in a single quarter, which not only helped the Raptors and withstood the pressure of the Hornets, but also provided a powerful firepower for the team!
Of course, the Raptors were able to win six consecutive games in this game, and the performance of Tigers anunoby was also indispensable.
In this game, Anunoby scored low and high, scoring only 8 points in the first half, Andunoby scored 12 points in the second half, contributing 20 points, 9 rebounds , 2 assists and 3 steals.
And his key performance in the final quarter, riding a single horse to cut down 10 points, not only completely ended the Hornets' idea of trying to fight back, but also once became a difficult existence for opponents to solve!
On the other hand, on the Hornets side, the team was completely crushed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this game, and finally swallowed a 15-point rout + 5 consecutive defeats, which obviously disappointed the home fans.
After all, in the case of Bridges + Rozier playing well and cutting 20+ at the same time, the performance of The three-goal Lamelo Bauer in this game is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
The three-goal Game of Lameló Ball was slightly sluggish, starting 43 minutes, 5 of 19 shots were not good, and the outside three-point shot was only 1 of 6 shots completely lost the crosshairs.
Although the whole game, the three goals still handed over the full performance of 15 +4 + 9 + 4, but there is a saying that he personally made as many as 7 mistakes in the whole game, or let the Hornets waste a lot of great opportunities to chase points!
In the case of three-goal delay in opening the situation, Hayward retired injured, facing the Raptors who played four people 20+, multi-point blossoming, Bridges + Rozier, who worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to accept the reality of 5 consecutive losses.
