Kyle Lowry has season-high 36 points as Raptors beat Hornets 126-113
TORONTO — Dwane Casey called his team’s third quarter effort on Wednesday night mind-boggling. 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.
“The way you come out and let a team go nine straight points to start the quarter, that’s totally unacceptable,” said Casey. “We’re not going to win anything if we come out with that attitude.
“We’ve got to fix it. We’ve talked about it. Other than starting five other people, I don’t know what to do.”
