The suddenly streaking Toronto Raptors have discovered an identity, a defensive edge that served them well Saturday night down in Dixie. It must be put in perspective because the home-team Hawks have been grounded in the wake of injuries,

Trae Young ended the Hawks game with four assists, ending his streak of consecutive games with five or more assists.

Atlanta enters this game ranked 19th in defensive rating and 27th in opponent-effective field goal percentage. But the Hawks' biggest problem is on the perimeter where they allow the fourth most 3-point attempts while having the second-worst opponent 3-point shooting percentage.
