After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Raptors 95-92. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Raptors. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
