The Toronto Raptors increased their chances for a playoff run last night after another impressive win over the Charolette Hornets.

It’s a tight race to the playoffs in both the Eastern and Western conference right now. Every win counts for the teams currently ranked 4th-12th which is why it’s so important that the Raptors win every game they play over the course of the next few days before the regular season ends.

The Raptors looked to better their playoff/play-in chances last night when they faced off against the Charolette Hornets. These two teams faced off Sunday as well with the Raptors taking the victory 128-108.

The Hornets were able to take the lead in the first quarter but the Raptors destroyed the Hornets in the second outscoring them 36-20. The Hornets tried to battle back in the third period but they got outscored by a landslide once again. The fourth quarter was closer but the Raptors once again outscored the Hornets to secure the victory.

Final score 120-100 for the Raptors.

With this win the Raptors secure eighth place in the Eastern Conference and guarantee their spot in the play-in tournament. However, if the Raptors keep winning they still have a very small chance to clinch a playoff spot and move out of the play-in tournament. Time will tell if the Raptors can keep the momentum rolling and get more wins.

The Raptors have a tough match up against the #2 ranked Celtics tonight.
