CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Guard DeMar DeRozan scored 18 points as the Toronto Raptors won for the first time in more than five years at Time Warner Cable Arena, routing the Charlotte Hornets 92-74 on Wednesday night.

Guards Greivis Vasquez and Louis Williams poured in 16 points each, while forward Tyler Hansbrough had 12 points and forward James Johnson added 11 points for Toronto, which snapped a two-game skid.

It was a strong beginning to a four-game road stretch for the Raptors, who've clinched a playoff berth and are playing for positioning in the Eastern Conference.

Guard Kemba Walker scored 15 points for the Hornets, who trailed 69-45 after three quarters and didn't have enough firepower with an injury-reduced lineup. Guards Brian Roberts and Mo Williams added 10 points apiece.

The Raptors lost their previous six games to Charlotte. Toronto broke an eight-game losing streak in Charlotte, where it hadn't won since March 2010.

Even making only 14 of their first 33 shots from the field, the Raptors built a double-figure lead.

It was 47-31 by halftime as the Raptors hit six 3-pointers.

The Hornets shot 31 percent (13-of-42) in the first half.

Hornets guard Gerald Henderson limped off the court in the first quarter after banging knees with Hansbrough. It wasn't nearly as dramatic as the contact between the two in their college years when Henderson (playing for Duke) bloodied Hansbrough (playing for North Carolina) on a hard foul near the end of one of their rivalry games.

Henderson returned for the second quarter, though he was charged with a technical foul in the second half.

Toronto center Jonas Valanciunas was limited in the first half by three first-quarter fouls but that didn't prevent some dominating stretches for the Raptors.

Toronto, which allowed a season-low 15 first-quarter points to Boston in its most-recent game, matched that defensive effort when it held a 20-15 edge after the first quarter against Charlotte.
