After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Raptors 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
