The Toronto Raptors secured a 108-97 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, a win that helps them maintain their position in the draft lottery as they face an underwhelming season. Jakob Poeltl was a standout, scoring 24 points and grabbing 12 rebounds, while Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley contributed effectively. With star player Lamelo Ball out for the season, the Hornets continue to struggle. Injuries for the Raptors have left several key players sidelined, reinforcing their rebuilding phase as focus shifts towards future prospects in the draft.
Jamal Shead's performance earned him a surprise honor, possibly in celebration of his career-high points, while the Raptors continue to embrace a rebuilding strategy.
Even with a 108-97 victory, the Raptors are cementing their position in the draft lottery, an indicator of their current season challenges.
