The Charlotte Hornets have not had too much to smile about as the "Born Ready" Experiment is all but in the Toilet. Not blaming one player but "Expectations" were as high as those Jordan Retro Releases in the Queen City and those releases hold "Expectations" and more!

Well the Hornets jumped out to a 31-23 after one only to find themselves trailing at the break 52-50. The Hornets on this night had two things rolling in their guards Kemba Walker and Bloodline Gerald Henderson Jr. who combined for 21 points at the break.

The Raptors found themselves flat in the 3rd and trailing at the end of three 75-66. Walker had 20 and Henderson Jr. 19 for Team Jordan. Kyle Lowry led the Dinsoaurs at the end of three with 15 and Raptors super-sub Lou-Will with a dozen.

It was the Raptors inability to slow down Walker (29 pts) and Henderson Jr. (31 pts) as they scored 21 of the Hornets final 28 points in the 4th for a Charlotte 103-95 "W". It was two Marvin Williams' money balls sprinkled in with a Bismack Biyambo free throw that accounted for the Hornets other seven points.

The Raptors fell flat and missed shots and couldn't get stops and that will get you beat in the Logo. Lowry led Toronto with 24 points and seven boards and seven assists. As Raptors Starters accounted for only 46 of their 95 total points. The Raptors were +18 from the Arc but Charlotte dominated wit "Points in the Paint"!

Hornets move to 14-24 while the Raptors fall to 24-11...
