Toronto is favored to win this one by 4 points.
Toronto has won the previous two meetings by 10 points or more.
Hawks have won three games straight, Toronto is looking to win their second game straight.

GO HAWKS!!!

Big game. If we win 4 out of 5 on this long road trip then my faith will be fully restored in these hawks.

Massive statement game, in their building. This could also be a potential second round matchup. Win this, and we're officially hot.

2/7 on 3s in that first quarter, all of them were wide open looks.

The good has been our defense. Forcing a lot of turnovers.

I really don't like Muscala as a basketball player.

Everytime we throw a punch they come right back with two punches. Defense is what's keeping us in this so far.

Lol these refs are calling the softest fouls on us.

Edit: I guess Toronto's home court advantage stretches past just their fans, and into the influence of the refs. Bazemore getting bumped and pushed by DeRozen and no foul, after an extremely soft foul was called for Lowry.

Missing soo many good looks. Korver misses a wide open 3, then Humphries shoots too strong on a layup, that's a microcosm of the half when it comes to open shots.

Now we've missed 3 of our last 4 free throws.

Impressive first half. I like our chances as long as we convert on open 3's and FT's in the 2nd half.

Complete s***fest down the stretch. Missed so many good lucks and wide open shots, sloppy passes and turnovers, and forgot how to play D. A very deserving loss.

This is what happens when you don't hit your open shots. Frustrating, losing yet another game this season because we couldn't hit our open looks.

Going back home, have to beat Memphis and Indiana this weekend if you want to keep some pace for third. If we can't get third, I'd be more than happy staying in sixth, and being on track to potentially face these guys in round 2. I'm honestly not scared of the raptors when it comes to the playoffs.

Expected. I think Toronto will be in the ECF vs Cleveland.
