DeMar DeRozan after his twitter mistake does well in the second half after he can not hit anything in the first half

DeMar DeRozan who did not find playing time in the fourth quarter last night and then he sounded off on twitter after the game saying Bull s--t situation and he was off his game in the first half and missed layups and was 2 of 7 and 3 of 5 from the line and had 5 points and had 4 assists. Then in the second half he was 6 of 11 and 2 of 3 from the line and had 14 points in the half with 7 in the both the third and fourth quarter and had 6 boards while Calderon put up 10 of the Raps 29 first quarter points and they shot very well between the Hornets opening the game on a 14-6 run and another 14-6 run in the second quarter after the Raps started the quarter on a 7-1 to finish a 30-12 run by the Raptors and even though the Raptors lead 51-46 @ halftime they shot 33% in the second quarter. In the third quarter the Raps shot under 30% and only scored 11 points in the quarter and the Hornets went into the fourth quarter with a 7 point lead with the score 69-62 but in the fourth the Raptors got hot again going 4 of 4 from beyond the arc to start the fourth and they were 9 of 15 in the game. The Raptors started the fourth 10 of 10 from the floor and 13 of 18 from the floor in the quarter and outscored the Hornets 33-15 and they won the game 95-84.

The Raps also got good performances from Kleiza who had 21 points off the bench with 12 in the first half and then 9 in the fourth quarter and was 5 of 7 from beyond the arc after going 0 for 5 last night. Barbosa had 15 points in the game and shoot 5 of 8 from the floor and 4 of 4 from the line and Ed Davis had 3 block shots in the first half but ended with no points while Calderon and Bayless combined for 11 of the Raptors 22 assists on 34 made baskets.

The Hornets got 14 points from former Raptor Marco Belinelli in the second and ended with 20 points in the game to go with 7 boards while going 6 for 6 from the line as the Hornets were 21 of 27 while the Raptors were 18 of 23. Chris Kaman who had 10 of his 17 points in the first half and ended with 10 boards as the Hornets crushed the Raps 49-36 on the boards.

The Raps matched their road wins from last season with 6 but if they want a high draft choice then this is a game they should of lost (I do not know, I;m just saying)
