Hawks Claim Playoff Berth

Thanks to a Warriors victory over the Wizards, the Atlanta Hawks have officially claimed a playoff berth.

Rather than celebrating with a victory of their own in Toronto, however, Atlanta flopped in a loss against the Raptors.

The Hawks’ weaknesses started with turnovers. The Raptors managed 14 steals, many coming in the first half. The Raptors also closed lanes, preventing Al Horford and Paul Millsap from scoring at the rim.

Toronto was impressive in its ability to shut down Millsap. He turned the ball over four times and shot 3-of-8 from the field for seven points.
