The Toronto Raptors edged the Charlotte Hornets 110–108 on November 17 at Scotiabank Arena in a defensive stalemate where both teams finished with identical 105.7 offensive and defensive ratings. B. Ingram led Toronto with 27 points, while S. Barnes added 16 in support; the Raptors shot 50% from the field and connected on 10 three-pointers despite committing 17 turnovers. Charlotte's K. Knueppel paced the visitors with 24 points and M. Bridges chipped in 22, but the Hornets' 42.5% shooting and 48 rebounds—eight more than Toronto—proved insufficient. The decisive stretch came in the third quarter, when Charlotte outscored Toronto 31–28, yet Toronto's balanced attack and 25 assists kept the Raptors in control down the stretch. Both squads matched each other's three-point production at 10 made, and steals were distributed unevenly with Charlotte forcing 11 to Toronto's 8, yet Toronto's execution in crunch time prevailed. The result leaves Toronto with momentum as conference positioning tightens.
