After a weird game against the Brooklyn Nets last night, the Toronto Raptors flew to Atlanta to face the well-rested Atlanta Hawks. With the Hawks losers of three straight and the Raptors winners of three straight, it looked like Toronto might be able to squeeze a win tonight. But tired legs caught up to them right away, as their perimeter shooting abandoned them, and they looked half-a-step slower on defense, losing the game 132-121.
Coach Nick Nurse might have found the formula to keep Trae Young away from the perimeter, as he only attempted four three-pointers.
