After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors buried the Hawks 118-89. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
