Raps-Hawks Recap: Atlanta splits the doubleheader with a win
In a season filled with inconsistency, a demoralizing loss to the same team they defeated two nights prior seemed fitting for this Toronto Raptors team.
The Hawks recovered from Wednesday’s loss with a 125-104 win over the Raptors. Trae Young led the way with 38 points, 11 assists, and 5 rebounds while draining 7 threes. The Hawks also got double-doubles from Clint Capela (18 points, 15 rebounds), Onyeka Okongwu (14 points, 11 rebounds), and Saddiq Bey (10 points, 10 rebounds).
Jakob Poeltl chimed in after the game when discussing the 16-3 advantage in offensive rebounds for the Hawks, “You can tell it was a point of emphasis.”
