The Hawks returned to regular season play after the All-Star Break intermission, but they would have to do so without Onyeka Okongwu for the foreseeable future.
The Hawks got off to a slow start, including miss shots at the rim, missed free throws, and transition buckets ceded due to the former two issues. At the first timeout, the Raptors led 9-2.
But the reset didn’t help much, as the Hawks quickly found themselves down 15-2 largely by way of an 0-for-12 streak from the field. Head coach Quin Snyder was forced to burn yet another timeout as Toronto jumped out to a 20-7 lead just six minutes into the contest.
