With the Raptors leading 71-52 at halftime, the Charlotte Hornets came out of the break on a 19-2 run and cut Toronto's lead to two points. The Raptors rebounded in the fourth and defeated the Hornets 126-113 on a season-high 36-point performance from Kyle Lowry, but all the talk post-game was about Toronto's lacklustre third quarter. Game Wrap: Lowry, DeRozan lead Raptors over Hornets1:25"The way you come out and let a team go nine straight points to start the quarter, that's totally unacceptable," said Casey. The Hornets used a 7-0 surge cutting the Raptors lead down to five with 4:42 to play in the fourth, but that's as close as they'd get. Lowry had 17 second-quarter points, giving the Raptors a 19-point cushion at the break.
