After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Raptors survived the Hawks 106-105. Raptors torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
