It is safe to say after the past few seasons the Toronto Raptors have surpassed the Toronto Maple Leafs dba The Six Hockey as the hottest ticket in town. Yes the Leafs have John Tavares and he is super-nice at Center but what the Leafs do not have is the best record or one of the best W-L in Ice Games dba NHL nor do they have the "Klaw" who is worth all 41 if he plays in 41 home tilts Kawhi Leonard.

The visiting Atlanta Hawks get all five starters in double figures led by emerging former Wake Forest Demon Deacons Star PF John Collins' 21 points as he hauled in fourteen boards. The Artist formerly known as "Linsanity" now back to government name Jeremy Lin added 20 with Tray Young chipping in with 19 points.

It as too much "Klaw" as he dropped 31 points with six thefts and Kyle Lowry added 16 points and six helpers with both Paschal Siakam and Serge Ibaka adding 13 points apiece while combining for sixteen boards. Toronto shot just 31% from the arc but the Hawks shot just 37% from  deep with both teams making ten.

Raptors super-sub OG Anunoby capped off the "W" with a lay-up and flush late in the 4th with the Hawks up 101-98 and in between all of that was an "Air Congo" dba Serge Ibaka flush and the Dinosaurs escape.

Toronto moves to 31-12 while the Hawks fall to 12-28 and one of the front runners for the Zion Williamson/R.J. Barrett Sweepstakes.
