After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks took care of the Raptors 107-91. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
