Atlanta Hawks Nearly Upset Elite Raptors: Rapid Reactions

The Atlanta Hawks found themselves north of the border tonight, playing the current 2nd-seeded Raptors for the second time on the year.

After a slow start to the game leading to a early timeout, the Hawks caught fire a couple times in the first 2 quarters, but always crashed back to earth before they could grow the lead too much. Their biggest of the lead of the night was mid-2nd quarter when they lead by 9, bigger than any lead the Raptors had tonight.

The first half was still impressive for the Hawks going up against one of the most talented teams in the league.
