After two disappointing losses to New York and Indiana, the Toronto Raptors rebounded on Saturday night, beating the lousy Atlanta Hawks 112-78.
It was a nice finish to what’ll ultimately be seen as an underwhelming 1-2 road trip, but almost felt like a must-win given how this team has developed a knack for spirited efforts after losses. Friday’s Indiana game was an outlier in that sense, so it was good to see them fight tonight.
The Raptors were led by 17 points from Norman Powell, and got 16 from Jonas Valanciunas, 15 and 13 rebounds from Kyle Lowry, 14 from Jakob Poeltl, and 13 from Pascal Siakam.
