The Toronto Raptors (12 - 7) defeated the Atlanta Hawks (12 - 9) Wednesday 96 - 86 at Phillips Arena in Atlanta. The Raptors entered the the fourth quarter in a nine - point hole, as the Hawks managed to have control for majority of the game. However, a monster fourth quarter from the team, which they won 39 - 20, allowed them to pull away and win with relative ease. Kyle Lowry was at the head of Toronto’s comeback effort, as he finished with a game - high 31 points, five rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes. The team rode Lowry for the entire game, as beyond the point guard, the rest of the team struggled offensively for the most part. DeMar DeRozan (17) and Cory Joseph (10) were the only other players to score in double figures. The Hawks had a much more balanced offensive attack, as all five starters managed to score in double figures. However, they got nothing from their bench players, as the team’s reserves scored just 24 points between the six of them. Jeff Teague recorded a double - dobule of 11 points and 10 assists, while Paul Millsap and Al Horford scored 14 and 12 points respectively and each grabbed nine rebounds on the night. Thabo Sefolosha (13) and Kyler Korver (12) round out the starters in double figures. Up next, the Raptors will head home Thursday to take on the Nuggets, while the Hawks will stay home Friday and play the Lakers.
