Raptors Win Fourth Straight with Clutch Finish Over Hornets; Ingram's Nifty Play and Defensive Stops Highlight Game

The Toronto Raptors secured their fourth consecutive victory with a narrow 110-108 win over the Charlotte Hornets at Scotiabank Arena. Brandon Ingram led all scorers with 27 points, while Immanuel Quickley contributed a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Key moments included Ingram's highlight-reel dunk over Hornets rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner and a game-winning layup by RJ Barrett with 18.4 seconds remaining after a give-and-go with Ingram. Scottie Barnes sealed the win with a crucial block on Collin Sexton in the final seconds. The game was marked by turnovers, with Charlotte committing 16 and Toronto 17, but Toronto's speed and fast-break points (21 compared to Charlotte’s 14) played a significant role. Despite some disorganization, six Raptors scored in double digits, showcasing their balanced offensive effort. The Hornets, currently 4-10 and struggling on the road, saw Miles Bridges hit a 26-foot three-pointer to briefly put Charlotte ahead before Toronto's late rally. The Raptors, now 8-5, will face the 76ers in Philadelphia next, while Charlotte heads to Indiana. The game highlighted Toronto’s improved defense and offensive versatility as they aim to extend their winning streak.
