The Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors timeline on Saturday, November 29, 2025, featured a frantic comeback in Charlotte as the Hornets overturned a 17-point first-half deficit to win 118-111 in overtime at Spectrum Center.
Miles Bridges scored 35 points and took over the extra period with 10 points to halt Toronto’s nine-game winning streak.
