Had you suggested a week ago that the team coming off a pair of wins prior to this game would be the Atlanta Hawks, and the one on a 2-game losing streak would be the Raptors, a giant hoot of disbelief and derision would surely have resulted. Yet here we are – the Hawks are the team on a roll (by their modest standards anyway), while the Raptors are suddenly struggling to score.
Even in their last defeat, to the OKC Thunder, the Hawks scored at will, which is a far cry to what had been happening earlier.
