After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors outlasted the Hawks 111-98. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
