Raptors-Hawks Preview

Three weeks ago, Chris Bosh helped the Toronto Raptors take advantage of the absence of Atlanta Hawks leading scorer Joe Johnson.

While Johnson might be out again Friday night in Atlanta, the Raptors won't be able to rely on Bosh this time.

Attempting to close in on the Eastern Conference's final playoff berth, Toronto will try to overcome the loss of its leading scorer and rebounder and win in Atlanta for the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years.

Bosh made a 16-foot jumper with 2.1 seconds left in a 106-105 home victory over the Hawks on March 17, while Johnson sat with a strained Achilles'. That shot is one of the reasons Toronto (38-40) is still battling Chicago for the eighth playoff spot in the East.

The Raptors will have to beat out the Bulls without Bosh, who's expected to be sidelined for "weeks" while recovering from surgery to repair a facial fracture. The All-Star forward, who's averaging career bests of 24.0 points and 10.8 rebounds, suffered the injury when he took an inadvertent elbow from Cleveland forward Antawn Jamison in a 113-101 loss Tuesday.

The next night, Hedo Turkoglu bumped heads with Boston's Tony Allen as Toronto dropped its third straight, 115-104. Turkoglu remains day-to-day after a CT scan showed no major injuries.

"When it rains it pours, I guess," swingman Antoine Wright said. "We're dropping like flies right now."

Those injuries could hurt the Raptors during a pivotal two-game stretch against the Hawks (49-29) and Bulls, who visit Toronto on Sunday.

Heading to Atlanta doesn't seem like a good way to begin as they're winless in four trips since a 100-88 victory Dec. 11, 2007. The Raptors, though, could have an opportunity to snap that skid if Johnson misses his fourth straight game with a sprained right thumb.

Before the loss in March, the Hawks had won four straight over Toronto with their leading scorer (21.2 ppg) in the lineup, including the first two meetings this season. In the previous matchup in Atlanta, they broke a Philips Arena scoring record with a 146-115 victory Dec. 2. Al Horford scored 24 points to lead nine Hawks players in double figures.

Atlanta, though, has scored 94.3 points per game - 7.3 below its season average - over its last nine contests, topping 100 just once. Despite those scoring struggles, the Hawks have won 10 straight at home, their longest streak since taking 20 straight from Nov. 12, 1996-Feb. 12, 1997.

Adding to that run would give Atlanta its first 50-win season since 1997-98 and also help in the race for the East's No. 3 seed. The Hawks enter Friday tied with Boston with four games remaining for both clubs.

They'll face a Raptors team that's allowed at least 113 points in four straight games and an average of 108.7 during a 7-16 stretch.

That could help the Hawks deliver a better performance than in Wednesday's 90-88 loss at Detroit. Against a team that was missing five players, Atlanta blew a nine-point lead, getting outscored 25-16 in the fourth quarter.

"We just self-destructed again,'' coach Mike Woodson said. "That's something we've got to figure out before we start playing playoff basketball."

The loss has Woodson's team on the verge of losing three straight for the first time since a season-high, four-game slide from Dec. 29-Jan. 4.

Hawks reach 50-wins for the first time in over a decade

By Jon Cooper, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday April 10, 2010 12:55AM

ATLANTA (NBA.com exclusive) -- The second quarter hasn't been kind to the Toronto Raptors when they've visited the Atlanta Hawks.

Back on Dec. 22 at Philips Arena, the Hawks put up a season-high 42 in the frame. Friday night, they blew past that mark, scoring 45 and turning an 11-point first-quarter deficit into a 12-point halftime lead on their way to a 107-101 victory.

The win was Atlanta's 11th straight at home and gave the Hawks their 50th win of the season. It's the first time since 1997-98 season that Atlanta has reached the 50-win plateau.

"It was a great win," said Hawks Head Coach Mike Woodson, whose team went 13-69 in 2005-06, his first season at the helm, but has improved every season since. "A lot of it has to do with our locker room and the guys that are in there. But we can't be happy and content. We still have a lot of work on our hands right now."

Being happy and content was part of what Toronto Head Coach Jay Triano pointed to as his team's undoing.

Toronto had reason for some joy, getting nine first-quarter points from Andrea Bargnani and holding Atlanta to 14 points on a first-quarter, season-low 19 percent shooting. They carried a 25-14 lead after one quarter.

So what happened in those 12 minutes?

"I just think it was mental lapses of getting a stop and feeling good about it and then relaxing and having somebody come in and get an offensive board for them," said Triano, who saw his team drop its fourth straight game. "You can't give this team second opportunities. Thirteen second-chance points in the second quarter. That was the difference."

Then there was the man Atlanta's nicknamed, "The Difference."

"Jamal Crawford happened," said center Al Horford, who pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds, a game-high-tying five of them on the offensive end (Josh Smith also had five offensive boards). "He came in and just took over."

Crawford scored 15 of his game-high 25 in the frame, shooting 5-for-7 from the floor, 4-for-5 from three, including a demoralizing three that turned into his 27th career four-point play with 3.2 seconds remaining in the half. The four-pointer pushed the lead back to double-digits and capped a 14-4 run to end the half.

Atlanta grabbed 12 offensive rebounds in the quarter and outscored Toronto 16-10 in the paint in the second stanza.

The second opportunities helped Atlanta shoot 57.7 percent, 66.7 from three. Joe Johnson, returning to action after missing the previous two games with a thumb injury, chipped in six of his 18 points in the quarter.

"It was important for us to have Joe back," said Horford. "This game could have gone either way, so I'm glad we were able to get this win and can move on."

It didn't come easy, as the Raptors fought to the end, despite falling behind by 20 at 96-76, with less than three minutes elapsed in the final quarter. Sonny Weems and Amir Johnson, replacing injured All- Star Chris Bosh, each had 18 to lead Toronto.

Toronto whittled the lead inside double figures, led by former Georgia Tech guard Jarrett Jack, who scored 11 of his 13 in the final stanza. But the Raptors got no closer than five in the final seconds.

"We have to take the positives. We did beat this team in three of the quarters," said Triano, whose team shot 47.8 percent to Atlanta's 40.9, but struggled from three, converting only 2 of 15 attempts (13.3 percent - Atlanta made 8 of 25 threes). "We battled and I like that competitiveness, but it's the little things you have to do if you're going to be successful, especially against competitive teams."

Being successful in the final three games got even tougher for the already depleted Raptors, as Antoine Wright was lost to an ankle injury late in the third quarter, when he turned an ankle after landing on the foot of Hawks guard Mario West while landing after attempting a three. Wright, who'd struggled all night (1 point on 0-for-6 shooting) needed assistance to get off the court and could not put any weight on the ankle.

The Raptors did get some good news on Friday, as New Jersey knocked off Chicago, 127-116, keeping the teams tied for the final playoff spot. Chicago visits the Air Canada Centre Saturday night.

"We just have to keep battling," said Triano. "We'll have to move somebody into a different role."

Atlanta heads to Washington on Saturday. The Wizards did the Hawks a favor by beating Boston, 106-96 in Boston, giving the Hawks a one-game lead in the race for third in the East with three games to play.

"It would be nice if these last three games we start playing the way we should be playing," said Horford. "We have to come out more focused and committed to what we're doing."
