After Action Report
The Raptors knocked off the Hawks 133-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
