**Atlanta, GA** – The Toronto Raptors overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat the Atlanta Hawks 86-70 on Saturday night at State Farm Arena, ending their nine-game road losing streak. The victory improves Toronto’s record to 13-32, while Atlanta falls to 22-23.
The game was a rematch of Thursday’s closely contested match, which saw the Raptors edge out the Hawks 122-119. Saturday’s game, however, saw a dominant performance from Toronto, who showcased exceptional teamwork with 32 assists – their 11th consecutive game with at least 25 assists.
Despite being a 4-point underdog, the Raptors controlled the second half, building a comfortable lead. The Hawks, coming off their closest loss since October 28, 2024, struggled to find their rhythm. Both teams have a 5-5 record against each other since April 2022, a balance decisively tipped by Saturday’s outcome.
The over/under for the game was set at 235.5 points. While the Hawks will look to rebound from their back-to-back losses, the Raptors will aim to build on their momentum as they continue their season.
