In a dominant performance, Toronto Raptors rookie Jonathan Mogbo recorded the first triple-double by a rookie in the NBA this season, contributing 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in a 126-96 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. This marked Mogbo's first career triple-double and the first by a Raptors rookie since 1995. The Raptors, who finished their home schedule with a 30-50 record, also saw strong contributions from Jared Rhoden with 23 points and Scottie Barnes with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
