Short-handed Raptors almost scrambled up a win in Atlanta
didn’t have many players, and most of the ones they did have were put in unfamiliar roles.
It wasn’t enough to steal a road win, though, as the Hawks took advantage of a horrendous defensive mistake to win on an A.J. Griffin layup at the overtime buzzer. Left all alone as the Raptors focused too much attention on Atlanta’s Trae Young, Griffin — son of Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin — calmly made the winning bucket to cap off a 17-point game.that stayed in the game the entire night, and looked to have it in control at times.
“ been pretty good,” coach Nick Nurse said of Flynn before the Raptors took their quick one-game road trip. “I think he’s been pretty confident and aggressive, made some plays. He’s ready to go. I know he’s itching to get more minutes and play.” Missing six key players — Pascal Siakam, Otto Porter Jr., Chris Boucher, Precious Achiuwa, Gary Trent Jr. and Dalano Banton — the Raptors scrambled the game as only they can to stay in it.
The danger is not being able to recover when gambles fail and the back end of the defence is put under pressure. That hasn’t been a huge problem yet — Toronto led the NBA in steals going into Saturday’s game, and ranked third in turnovers created — and the risk-reward ratio seems to favour their style of play right now.
