The Toronto Raptors ( 21 - 13 ) outscored their opponents 30 - 12 in the fourth , defeating the Charlotte Hornets ( 17 - 15 ) 104 - 94 . The division - leading Raptors continue to rise in the standings following the win over the Hornets . Per usual , the victory was led by the All-Star backcourt of Kyle Lowry ( 18 points , 11 assists , five rebounds ) and DeMar DeRozan ( 23 points ) . The pair contributed heavily to Toronto 's impressive 17 - for - 18 free - throw shooting night , combining to knock down 11 - of - 11 at the line . The Raps also saw a big double - double from recently - returned center Jonas Valancianus , who tallied 10 points and 13 rebounds on the night . Despite a surprisingly hot start to the season , the Hornets have come back down to Earth and are now just 7 - 8 in the month of December . The weak stretch was made even tougher to swallow by the loss of center Al Jefferson ( knee ) , who will be out for approximately six weeks with a torn meniscus . Even in the face of a loss , point guard Kemba Walker had a typically strong showing , pouring in 18 points and also recording four steals on the night . Toronto 's homestand will continue on Sunday as they take on the Bulls in an afternoon contest . Charlotte , meanwhile , will be forced to take on the powerhouse Thunder in the second half of a back - to - back on Saturday .
