Game thread: Toronto Raptors vs. Atlanta Hawks
This is it! The Toronto Raptors’ five-games-in-seven-nights stretch finally ends after tonight, as the Raptors host the Atlanta Hawks at Scotiabank Arena.
As Joseph wrote about this morning, these are two red-hot teams. The Raptors have won four in a row, including one over the Hawks; and that’s the only Hawks loss in their last nine games.
Both teams are more healthy tonight than they were on Monday; the Raptors have Khem Birch back, and the Hawks have Trae Young back. (Gonna have to go advantage: Hawks here!) As a Raptors fan it’s great to see the team with all of its pieces, even if Birch is still working his way back into game shape (and learning to play with the face mask).
