After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Raptors 120-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
