The costly mistakes for the Raptors may not have come at the end but they did come much earlier and much more frequently. The Hornets scored 31 in the second quarter and 37 in the third as they went to the three-point well early and often hitting 10-of-15 from distance in the third quarter alone. “Energy in the second quarter and the third quarter … just didn’t play well. It came back in the end and bit us.”The Hornets wound up with 18 makes from behind the arc in this one. With the return of Lowry, Nurse had all hands on deck and was promising to stir things up … well, a little at least.
