Last season, a casual trip to the playoffs allowed us to witness the Hawks' extraordinary. Now that the season's regular season showdown has come to an end, the Atlanta Hawks have once again played their Eastern Jersey momentum in the final sprint. After a five-game winning streak, they also came to the eighth place in the East, and there is still a great chance to recreate last season's glory. Yes, the team's big boss, Trae Young, still has no solution on the scoring end and assists, and collins and Pogdan can also play their own value on the scoring end.
Perhaps, the only player who is slightly disappointed is the league's pie king Capela. According to the statistical analysis of this season's data, Capela's average score per game has dropped significantly compared with last season. Of course, last season's Eagles also showed their tough competitiveness in the playoffs, and it is still too early to deny them in the regular season. And this game, the Hawks came to Toronto, away to challenge the Raptors located there. Although their lineup is not luxurious, under the leadership of Nas, the Raptors are still back on the right track this season, and still have the opportunity to get playoff tickets in advance.
At the beginning of the game, the away Eagles quickly entered the form and achieved a feat of domination. Trae Young played 12 minutes of the first quarter, with an efficient shooting rate of 7 shots, 9 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the team to a booming state that blossomed everywhere, taking a 4-point lead with a 31-27 score. But after entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Eagles, who maintained a lead in the score, failed to follow the trend and once encountered a strong counterattack from the Raptors.
Siakam played 12 minutes of the second quarter, sending 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, while Thaddeus Young, who came off the bench, also contributed 7 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, helping the team play a 29-21 score, not only chasing back the 4 points behind in the first quarter, but also achieving a 4-point counterattack with a half-time score of 56-52. The situation has changed, and the Raptors, who have won the lead in the score, did not show mercy after the yibian re-battle, further widening the point difference between the two sides.
In the third quarter of the competition, Siakam continued to threaten, played another 12 minutes of game time, sent a comprehensive statistic of 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and once again led the team to a 33-31 score to get a 2-point lead. By the time of entering the crucial final-quarter game, the Raptors were already leading the Hawks by a crucial six points, and it was clear that they had a better chance of winning the game. Sure enough, in the final quarter of the decisive showdown, although the Raptors encountered the Eagles' counterattack, they were always able to bite the leading score and continue to consume the remaining game time.
In the end, after the regular time of the fourth quarter, the Raptors actually played a 29-25 score and won the game with a score of 118-108. The Hawks' starters did a good job in this game, and Trae Young also gave a luxurious stat of 4 rebounds and 15 assists in the process of scoring 26 points, playing his two-way style. Hunter also had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Hult, who handed over 21 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. The three players on the team scored at least 20 points, but the Eagles still lost the game, which is really regrettable.
However, we also have to recognize the reality. Siakam, the raptors' top scorer, performed very well in this game, shooting 12 of 23 in a single game, sending 31 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, showing his psychological quality that is not willing to be mediocre. Although VanVleet's shooting feel in this game is not good, only 21 shots in a single game 4 of the bad shooting rate, but there are also 12 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, in the final quarter of the decisive final hit the key 3 points to complete the redemption, helped the team set the tone of winning.
