Call it the flu game or the Bebe game: Raptors beat the Hawks 96-86

On the day we launched Harsh Take here at the HQ, Lucas "Bebe" Nogueira undid all my good work by making Bismack Biyombo a footnote in today's game. Here are the only important things to note from this game. The Raptors had one of the worst 1st halves you'll see a team put together. Check this shot chart:

That, my friends, is the same order of puke that Kyle Lowry was spitting up at half time due to the flu.

Then, Dwane Casey showed faith in a young big and, while DeMar DeRozan rested to start the 4th quarter, the Raptors made a ferocious run with a lineup of Patrick Patterson, Terrence Ross, Cory Joseph, Kyle Lowry and Bebe.
