One of these nights the Raptors actually are going to play well for an entire game and win.

Last night they played well for about eight minutes and employed some heads-up coaching to notch a win. But given the way things have been going, they'll gladly take it.

The Raptors turned it on early in the third quarter and then again for a couple of minutes in overtime en route to a 94-91 victory versus the Atlanta Hawks before a crowd of 19,800 at the Air Canada Centre.

Raptors guard Alvin Williams hit the game-winning three-pointer with 1.5 seconds to go in OT, ending a stressful night for the relieved home side. Raptors guard Vince Carter had drawn a triple-team before passing the ball to Williams.
