After their valiant comeback attempt fell short on Jan. 20, the Atlanta Hawks will try to take things a step further when they visit the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.

The Raptors led by 21 points with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter at Atlanta on Martin Luther King Day only to have the Hawks cut the margin two points. The Raptors escaped with a 122-117 win because Norman Powell scored 17 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter.

Nurse said losing big leads is a reflection of how the game has changed.

"I think the one thing everyone has to get their head around a little more in this league is those 15-,18-, 20-point leads are just going away quickly," Nurse said. "It's just the way basketball has changed with so many more possessions and the 3-ball and all that stuff. It's happening.

no surprise there, shouldn't even be allowed on the same court as that team full strength. It was very cool to see the retro Raptors kits though.

Looking forward to Trae vs Luka Saturday night!
