Their recent performances included a disheartening 101-129 loss to the New York Knicks just two days prior to this matchup. In contrast, the Raptors were riding high on a nine-game winning streak, with their last victory coming against the Indiana Pacers, where they won 97-95. Toronto had been averaging 119.1 points scored while allowing only 109.6 during their recent stretch.

At home, the Hornets had struggled with a 1-4 record in their last five games, while the Raptors were undefeated in their last five away games, emphasizing the disparity in form. The last meeting between these two teams occurred on November 18, 2025, where the Raptors narrowly edged the Hornets 110-108. Historically, the Hornets had won only one out of their last four encounters against the Raptors, with their previous victory being a narrow 138-133 win on October 30, 2024.

In terms of injuries, both teams had key players listed as day-to-day. For the Hornets, Brandon Miller and PJ Hall were both dealing with shoulder and ankle issues, respectively. The Raptors faced similar uncertainties with Nate Bittle, Alijah Martin, Chucky Hepburn, Collin Murray-Boyles, and Immanuel Quickley all listed as day-to-day due to various injuries.

The betting market reflected the Raptors as favorites, with DraftKings providing odds of -6.5 for Toronto, while the total points line was set at 234.5, indicating expectations of a high-scoring game. The Hornets were given a moneyline of +230, while the Raptors were at -285.

The game conditions were typical for a late November evening in Charlotte, with fans filling the Spectrum Center to see if the Hornets could turn their fortunes around. The atmosphere was electric, and the home crowd was eager to witness a much-needed victory.

As the game unfolded, the Hornets managed to pull ahead in overtime, with key plays from Miles Bridges, who scored crucial points to secure the lead. The final scoring plays included Bridges making a free throw and a five-foot shot, followed by Collin Sexton adding to the score with a ten-foot shot. The Raptors, led by Scottie Barnes, attempted to respond but fell short as the Hornets maintained their composure under pressure.

Ultimately, the Hornets' victory was a testament to their determination and ability to perform when it mattered most, especially after a series of disappointing losses. The win not only boosts their morale but also provides a glimmer of hope for their season moving forward.
