ATLANTA—A couple of strides from where Raptors coach Dwane Casey was chatting with the media at the Atlanta Hawks’ practice facility, OG Anunoby was putting up a couple of dozen three-pointers from the corner. At the other end of the floor, Serge Ibaka was doing the same thing.
It is part of the post-practice routine for the two Raptors forwards every day, but it has become even more important of late because. Neither has been overly effective on a consistent basis for some time. And as good as Toronto’s offence is — it’s still in the top five in efficiency rankings in the 30-team league — having two-fifths of the starting lineup struggling at times is far from optimal.
