Game 34: Hornets at Raptors

First game of the year for 2016 and the Raptors are looking for their 21st win in a game against the Charlotte Hornets!

• Charlotte always gives Toronto a tough time. Last time these teams faced it was Jeremy Lin and Marvin Williams having a great night that put the Raps away in Overtime.
• Al Jefferson's suspension has been lifted but he is sidelined again with a knee injury that's going to keep him on the bench for about 6 weeks. Cody Zeller will start.
• Nicolas Batum is also back. Last time these two teams met he was out with an illness. Gotta contain him.

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Kasabian - "Bumblebeee"

I know a bumble bee isn't the same thing as a Hornet, but it's pretty damn close. Both can be quite stingy and buzzy. Not many artists out there are singing about hornets. Ohh hor-NETS I get it. Is that why?

Raptors 3rd in the East 20-13. Hornets 9th in the East 17-14
