After Action Report
The Raptors edged the Hawks 110-104. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
