The Raptors had beaten the Hawks in two very close games this year, both games that the Hawks had in their collective hands, but yielded at the very end.

Tonight, the Raptors snuck into Philips Arena and without Vince Carter, caught the Hawks dead flat, and used their front line to force many issues with the home team.
