The Toronto Raptors defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 128 - 84, at Air Canada Centre on Saturday. The Hawks (10 - 11) checked in to Saturday as a badly flawed team, sporting five consecutive losses on their ledger and once again missing star power forward Paul Millsap due to a hip injury. Their most recent defeat, a 121 - 85 trouncing at the hands of the Detroit Pistons on Atlanta's home court, had come just a night prior. Things looked like they had nowhere to go but up, but the floundering Hawks found a way to sink even further. They shot just 40 percent from the field and 25 percent from three - point range in a season - worst 44 - point loss, while surrendering 58 and 54 percent success rates to the Raptors (14 - 6) in those respective categories. The visitors were also outrebounded by a 48 - 38 margin and committed 18 turnovers while only forcing 12. Atlanta was led by a pair of 15 - point efforts, the first of which came from Dennis Schroder, who supplemented the scoring with six assists, a rebound and a steal. Tim Hardaway, Jr. supplied the second off the bench, and added a rebound, assist, steal and block over 23 minutes. Dwight Howard was the only other member of the starting five with double digits in the scoring column, supplying a 10 - point, 17 - rebound double - double that also included an assist and two blocks. Mike Muscala, who started in Millsap's stead, Kyle Korver and Kent Bazemore combined for just 21 points. Kris Humphries was also productive in a reserve role, registering 10 points and three rebounds. The Raptors saw eight players manage double - digit scoring and were led by DeMar DeRozan, who posted 21 points, four assists, three rebounds and a steal. Backcourt mate Kyle Lowry followed with 17 points, eight assists, eight rebounds and a block. Pascal Siakam totaled a career - high 14 points and complemented them with three rebounds, two blocks and a steal. DeMarre Carroll managed 10 points, five rebounds and three steals. Patrick Patterson led the bench with 17 points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal, while Terrence Ross (15 points), Lucas Nogueira (11 points) and Cory Joseph (10 points) also showed up well on the stat sheet. The Hawks head back home to face off with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday evening, while the Raptors remain home to take on the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night as well.
