Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 132-121 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
One — Exhausted: The Raptors just didn’t have their fastball after giving their all in their win over the Nets on Friday, and it showed on defense. The Raptors were a step slow the entire night, chasing after shadows and whiffing on open shots, and they just couldn’t keep up with the Hawks, who were well rested after being blown out on Thursday. Give them credit, the Hawks also played a very good game with several players stepping up, but this was also a bit of a scheduled loss for the Raptors.
