Hawks-Raptors Preview

The Atlanta Hawks are starting to heat up. Weather seems to be the only thing that can stop them.

A day after a winter storm forced a postponement, the Hawks will look for their fifth consecutive win when they travel to face the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

Atlanta (25-14) defeated Indiana 108-93 on Saturday due in large part to going 11 for 22 from beyond the arc. Mike Bibby led the way with four 3s and Jamal Crawford and Joe Johnson added three apiece.

The Hawks are converting 37.5 percent of their 3-pointers this season, but 49.4 percent (41 of 83) during their winning streak in which Atlanta has won by an average of 13.3 points .

"When we can swing the ball and get open looks, we're tough to beat," said Josh Smith, who had 27 points and 10 rebounds.

Smith, averaging 20.0 points over his last six contests, recorded consecutive double-doubles versus the Raptors before registering 12 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists for his third career triple-double in a 96-78 win on Nov. 28.

Johnson has also been playing well, scoring 24 points against Indiana and recording an average of 27.5 in his last four games - 8.9 more than his season average. He has made 10 of 18 from 3-point range during the Hawks' winning streak.

Atlanta is 9-3 since Johnson returned from elbow surgery Dec. 17, holding teams to 90.7 points per game. The Hawks also have taken eight of 10 from the Raptors, outscoring them by an average of 14.2 points in the victories.

Toronto (13-24) is coming off a 118-112 win over Sacramento on Sunday as DeMar DeRozan continues to emerge as a rising star.

Selected ninth overall in 2009, DeRozan had 28 points - his second-highest total this season - and is averaging 23.8 during his last six games.

"He's starting to really come into his own as an offensive player, especially when he can drive the ball to the basket like he did tonight," Toronto coach Jay Triano said of DeRozan, second on the team with 14.8 points per game.

Andrea Bargnani, who is averaging a team-best 21.5 points, scored 30 against the Kings. The top overall pick in 2006, though, struggled against the Hawks in November, going 6 of 17 from the field to finish with 14 points.

The Raptors received some good news as Sonny Weems practiced Tuesday and could return to face the Hawks. Weems, averaging 11.5 points, had started 18 consecutive games before missing 11 with a back injury.

Toronto is allowing 105.3 points per game - among the league's worst. Atlanta is averaging 108.3 during a three-game road winning streak.

Tuesday's postponed game with Milwaukee has been rescheduled for March 15 at Philips Arena.

Crawford scores season-high 36, Hawks edge Raptors

Posted Jan 12 2011 11:06PM

TORONTO (AP) After Jamal Crawford's shooting kept Atlanta close, Mike Bibby's late 3-pointer gave the Hawks a big win.

Bibby made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left, Crawford scored a season-high 36 points, and the Hawks beat the Toronto Raptors 104-101 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory.

Joe Johnson scored 26 points and Al Horford had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Hawks, who have won nine of their past 11 meetings with the Raptors.

Atlanta won despite a difficult Tuesday that saw them spend most of the day hanging around the arena before learning their home game against Milwaukee had been postponed by a winter storm. They left for Toronto around 10:00 p.m.

"It was the longest day in the world yesterday," Crawford said. "It felt like we played a game, then left after the game and flew in on a back-to-back.

"This Raptors team is playing a lot better," Crawford said. "We just had to come up here and gut it out. It wasn't the prettiest win but we got it done."

Leandro Barbosa scored a season-high 26 points for the Raptors, who also got 26 from Andrea Bargnani. Toronto has lost five of seven and 14 of 19.

"(Barbosa) was a problem and we didn't have an answer for him," Crawford said.

Jose Calderon had 11 points and nine assists for Toronto, but lost the ball out of bounds in the final 10 seconds and his team down by a point.

"It's sad, we worked really hard," Barbosa said. "It's going to be tough for all of us to sleep, knowing that we had the game and that we did a good job."

Toronto led 87-82 with 7:02 to go thanks to Barbosa's three-point play and a free throw by Calderon after a technical foul on Crawford. Atlanta fought back to tie it at 91 on a 3-pointer by Johnson with 4:38 remaining.

Bargnani made a pair of jumpers but Crawford's long 3 and a layup from Horford gave Atlanta its first lead of the fourth quarter, 96-95, with 1:20 to go.

Hawks coach Larry Drew said he sometimes flinches when he sees Crawford launch a 30-foot shot.

"He shot that thing from almost half court," Drew said.

Crawford said he understands how his coach feels.

"I think I would flinch too if I was watching somebody else shoot from that far out," Crawford said.

Bargnani answered with a 3 for Toronto, but DeMar DeRozan fouled Crawford on a 3-pointer and the Hawks guard made all three at the line to put Atlanta back on top. At the other end, Toronto's Amir Johnson converted a three-point play after being fouled on a layup, and the Raptors led 101-99 with 45 seconds left.

Crawford missed a corner 3 but Amir Johnson was whistled for an offensive foul, giving Atlanta the ball with 10.5 seconds remaining. Bibby took the inbounds pass from Crawford and drilled a 3 from the top with 8.2 seconds to go, putting the Hawks up 102-101.

"Coach drew up a perfect play," Joe Johnson said. "Mike comes and acts like he's going to set a pick for me, then just busts up through the middle of our two bigs. Mike's made big shots his whole career."

Toronto gave the ball to Calderon, who lost the ball out of bounds as he drove to the basket. The referees huddled to review the play on video before giving possession to the Hawks, and Johnson made a pair of free throws to make it 104-101 with a second to play. Bargnani's long 3 bounced off the rim at the buzzer, and the Italian sunk to his knees in frustration.

"It looked good when it left his hand," Drew said of Bargnani's last-gasp effort. "He got a great look at it. We were fortunate that it was just a little bit short."

Crawford came off the bench to score Atlanta's final 11 points of the first quarter as the Hawks built an early 27-21 lead. Crawford had 11 more in the second, and Johnson scored nine, but Bargnani and Barbosa each answered with 13 for Toronto. Atlanta led 60-55 at the half.

"He's a guy who can really heat up and score in bunches and he did that tonight," Johnson said of Crawford. "He was basically unstoppable in the first half. When you've got guys like that coming off the bench, you're a tough team."

Crawford didn't score in the third and Barbosa tied it at 72 on a pair of free throws with 2:08 left in the quarter, then gave Toronto its first lead since the first when he stole the ball at midcourt and converted a layup. Toronto led 77-75 going to the fourth.

Notes: Crawford shot 10 for 14 in the first half but just 2 for 9 in the second. ... Atlanta has won four straight on the road. ... Sonny Weems dressed but did not play for the Raptors after sitting out the past 11 games because of back spasms. Weems last played Dec. 15. ... Atlanta's Marvin Williams (back) missed his sixth straight game. ... Hawks C Etan Thomas did not travel with the team to Toronto because he was snowed in at his Atlanta home.

Raptors-Hawks notebook

THE FACTS: On Wednesday night at the Air Canada Centre, the Atlanta Hawks took down the Toronto Raptors 104-101. After a long Tuesday of waiting for a game against the Milwaukee Bucks that didn't happen due to weather conditions in Atlanta, Jamal Crawford was itching to play. Against the Raptors, he came off of the bench to score a season-high 36 points while Mike Bibby drilled a dagger three with 8.9 seconds remaining as the Hawks got the victory.

QUOTABLE: "He is a coach's dream when you talk about a guy that can come off the bench and get you going...He hit a huge three near the end. He shot that thing from almost half court."
-- Larry Drew on the play of Jamal Crawford

THE STAT: Free throws. The Hawks went to the line 31 times compared to a season-low 12 attempts for the Raptors. Crawford almost tied the Raptors for free throw attempts, finishing one shy with 11 trips to the stripe. In a three-point game, the Hawks finished 25-for-31 from the line while the Raptors were just 9-for-12.

TURNING POINT: After a thrilling final four minutes of the fourth quarter, Amir Johnson was called for an offensive foul with 10.5 seconds remaining, giving the ball back to the Hawks, who were down by two. While it was Crawford who scored 11 points in the final quarter to keep the Hawks close, Larry Drew went to Bibby for a big bucket and Bibby responded, drilling a 3-pointer to put the Hawks ahead by one. After the ball went out of bounds off of Jose Calderon and Joe Johnson hit two free throws, the Raptors had a chance to tie the game with a second remaining, but a 3-pointer from Andrea Bargnani was off the mark and the Hawks escaped with the victory.

QUOTABLE II: "Even before he came here, I used to watch him and playing against him, he could get hot at any time. He's a hell of a scorer and when he gets hot it's even worse. It's nothing I haven't seen before. I'm used to it." Mike Bibby on teammate Jamal Crawford getting into a zone.

HOT: Crawford had a season-high 36 points for the Hawks, finishing 12-for-23 from the floor and 4-for-11 from the 3-point line. He was a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line and added three rebounds and two assists. Crawford had 25 of his 36 in the first half where he shot a blistering 10-for-14. For the Raptors, Leandro Barbosa also scored a season-high, finishing with 26 points in the loss.

NOT: After DeMar DeRozan got off to a hot start scoring nine points in the first quarter on 4-for-6 shooting, he disappeared. Logging over 39 minutes for the game, DeRozan did not score again, finishing with those nine points on 4-for-11 shooting. He also had four personal fouls and five turnovers.

NOTABLE: Atlanta's 30 3-point attempts were a team-high and also a Raptor opponent high this season. The Raptors outscored Atlanta 60-38 in the paint and have now topped 60 points in the paint in three of their last four games. Atlanta outrebounded Toronto 40-33, including 10-4 on the offensive glass. Sonny Weems dressed for the first time in 11 games, but did not play. Al Horford picked up his 20th double-double of the season and the Hawks are 15-5 when he gets one.

UP NEXT: For the Hawks, Saturday vs, Houston, Monday vs. Sacramento and Tuesday @ Miami.. For the Raptors, Friday vs. Detroit, Saturday @ Washington and Monday @ New Orleans.
