As the Toronto Raptors are wont to do this season, they forced us to watch the game until the very end — whether you were hoping for a win or a loss. An otherworldly flurry of Malachi Flynn three-pointers made this one a particularly fun fake comeback, but it was fake, nonetheless. In the end, the Atlanta Hawks had built up a big enough cushion that four (!) late threes by Flynn were not enough to close the gap. The Raptors would go on to lose to Atlanta, 108-103.
With multiple significant players missing for both teams, this game felt like a night on Broadway when few of the regular cast are performing and the understudies fill the stage.
