After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors pulled away from the Hawks 108-97. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
