Jeff Teague and the Atlanta Hawks made some major strides on the Western Conference portion of their current road trip.
Heading back east may not be easy since Teague had a tough time stopping Kyle Lowry the last time he faced the Toronto Raptors.
These point guards match up for the second time this season Thursday night when the Hawks complete a five-game trek.
Atlanta (36-28) began this trip last Tuesday with a 109-105 overtime loss to Golden State, which played without MVP Stephen Curry. The Hawks took the next three games, including an impressive 107-97 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday followed by Tuesday's 91-84 win over Utah.
