After Action Report

The Hawks survived the Raptors 106-105. Hawks torched the Raptors on the offensive end. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 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.
