A week removed from winning two games at the buzzer the Hornets luck seemingly ran out as they lost four in a row. Week five was bookmarked by two games that served as a reminder this team is still very much a lottery bound club.

The Raptors set a franchise record by dishing forty assists in the match and connected on 20 of 43 perimeter shots. Toronto held them under 100 points and finished with a 36 point differential.

The Bulls seemed ripe for the picking but Zach LaVine wasn’t having it as he dropped 13 of his 17 perimeter shots. The 13th 3-pointer served to remind what goes around comes around as it completed the Bulls come from behind victory at the buzzer.
