Welp. The Toronto Raptors laid an egg in a decisive third quarter tonight, as Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks picked them apart, leading an eventual 127-100 Hawks win. For Toronto, this is their second consecutive game getting obliterated by 25 or more, something that feels like a first during the “We The North” era.
Toronto looked like they were in control of the game for a while, as they looked significantly better than last night to start the game. There were early signs of cracks on their defense, but their offense was clicking, with Pascal Siakam picking apart the Hawks’ defense, and Fred VanVleet catching fire with 20 points in the first half.
