After Action Report

The Raptors upended the Hawks 118-115. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
