After Action Report
In Toronto, the Hawks pulled away from the Raptors 125-107. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
