Rested Raptors cruise past Hawks

ATLANTA—Three long days here for that?

After their longest break of the regular season so far — an off day and two days of working on fine-tuning parts of their game — the Raptors wasted no time in exerting their dominance over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, rolling to a 108-93 victory in front of vast expanses of empty seats at Philips Arena.

Dispelling any concerns that some rust may have developed over the extended time off, the Raptors got off to a quick start and made easy work of the Hawks, running their record to 32-14 and moving Dwane Casey a step closer to being a coach in next month’s all-star game.
