Raptors-Hawks Preview

After a snowstorm resulted in the postponement of a home game last month, the Atlanta Hawks were able to muster up enough energy to defeat the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.

The way the Raptors are struggling, another storm could provide a much-needed break in the schedule.

The Hawks look to win their sixth straight home game in the series Wednesday night as the Raptors try to avoid their first 13-game losing streak in nine seasons.

With a home game against Milwaukee postponed Jan. 11 due to a snowstorm, the Hawks didn't leave for their game the following night in Toronto until 10 p.m.

Atlanta (30-18) still managed to win its third in a row over the Raptors, 104-101 as Mike Bibby made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left. Jamal Crawford paced the Hawks with a season-high 36 points.

Toronto (13-36) was supposed to fly to Atlanta following a 104-93 loss at Indiana on Monday, but a severe snowstorm developing in the Midwest caused its flight to be canceled. The team spent the night in Indianapolis.

If the Raptors can get to Atlanta, they will look to avoid their first 13-game skid since Feb. 12-March 7, 2002.

"We have to be frustrated," guard Jose Calderon said after scoring 13 points with seven assists Monday. "Everybody is thinking we want to win. We have to keep working and take the positive parts. We just have to keep working and stay together."

If Toronto is going to end an eight-game road losing streak, the club will likely need a better effort from its top two scorers.

Andrea Bargnani, averaging a team-best 21.1 points, is scoring 16.7 per game and shooting 27.4 percent in the last three. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 9.0 points over that stretch, 6.4 fewer than his season average.

"It's my fault (they're struggling) probably because I had to play the (expletive) out of them for nine games in a row when we had no other bodies, so they played 44 minutes per game and are probably worn down a little bit," said coach Jay Triano, whose team last dropped nine in a row on the road during an 0-11 skid from Dec. 1, 2004-Jan. 14, 2005. "... They have to learn to fight through this."

The Raptors will conclude their three-game trip trying to win in Atlanta for the first time since Dec. 11, 2007.

The Hawks, winners of 12 of 14 at home, are looking to bounce back from a 102-91 loss at Dallas on Saturday. Atlanta was outscored 14-1 in the first five-plus minutes of the fourth quarter and missed 11 of 15 shots in the period.

"This one hurt," said swingman Joe Johnson, who finished with 27 points and eight boards. "We had total control heading into the fourth quarter. It got out of hand and we couldn't get back in it."

The Hawks, shooting 30.4 percent from 3-point range over the last nine games, could fare better against Toronto, which has allowed 100 points or more in each of the last eight contests.

Atlanta has won nine of the last 11 meetings and will try to sweep the season series for the first time since 1998-99.

Atlanta sends Raptors to 13th straight loss

By GEORGE HENRY
Posted Feb 03 2011 1:23PM

ATLANTA (AP) - Joe Johnson has needed about 1½ months to get his shooting touch back.

Considering that he underwent right elbow surgery and missed nine games in December, Johnson believes his patience has paid off.

"I've been taking my time," he said. "My body is feeling pretty good now."

Johnson scored a season-high 37 points, Josh Smith had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and the Atlanta Hawks beat Toronto 100-87 Wednesday night for the Raptors' 13th straight loss.

The Hawks have won two of three and five of eight.

Toronto's losing streak is the team's longest since it dropped 13 in a row from Feb. 12-March 7, 2002.

"We need one, just for everybody," Raptors guards Jose Calderon said. "We've been working really hard."

Amir Johnson scored 20 points and DeMar DeRozan added 16 for Toronto, which dropped to 5-22 on the road.

The Raptors didn't arrive in Atlanta until Wednesday morning because of a Midwest snowstorm that kept them stuck in Indianapolis since Monday and forced them to check into the same hotel three times.

At one point, the team's charter flight sat on the runway for five hours before returning to the gate.

Toronto began the third quarter on a 10-0 run that ended with Calderon's baseline layup and a 55-54 lead, the Raptors' first since early in the first quarter.

Toronto got close on Amir Johnson's transition layup to cut the Atlanta lead to 84-77 with 8:34 left in the game.

Just 4:21 later, Johnson's backdoor layup ended a 12-1 run that put the Hawks ahead 96-78.

"We pretty much dictated how we wanted the game to be played," Johnson said. "We had a mental lapse in the second half. We were able to pick it back up and close the game out."

Johnson, who added eight assists, finished 15 for 21 from the field, including 5 for 8 on 3-point attempts. Over his past 14 games, Johnson has averaged 26.8 points.

"When he caught the ball in the low block he shot over top of us," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "When we tried to bring somebody else or collapse him a little bit, he picked us apart with guys spreading the floor and hitting 3s."

Al Horford finished with 12 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists for the Hawks, who improved to 16-7 at home, where they have won 13 of 15.

Horford played 36 minutes despite missing practice Monday with a sore right ankle, an injury that sidelined him two games Jan. 21 and 22.

Smith played nearly 41 minutes despite a swollen right knee, which he hyperextended in a blowout loss to New Orleans on Jan. 21. He returned to practice Tuesday after missing Monday's session.

Atlanta has won four straight over the Raptors overall, six in a row at Philips Arena.

Toronto, which began the night ranked 25th in defensive scoring, allowed 100 points for the ninth straight game. The Hawks had 30 assists.

"It was tough tonight defensively just because we couldn't stop Joe," Triano said. "I want our guys to be a little more accountable man-to-man. I'm not going to bail them out and let them play zone."

Smith's dunk over Ed Davis with 6:35 remaining made it 88-78, and the Hawks led in double figures the rest of the game.

Sonny Weems and Andrea Bargnani each scored 12 for Toronto.

Notes: Hawks G Maurice Evans, who scored 12 points, started his second straight game as Marvin Williams served the second of a two-game suspension for fighting. ... Toronto reserve G Jerryd Bayless scored six points in 15 minutes before leaving with a sprained right knee. ... Raptors G Leandro Barbosa (hamstring), F Reggie Evans (foot) and F Linas Kleiza (knee) did not make the trip.

Raptors-Hawks notebook

THE FACTS: The Raptors lost for the 13th straight time as Atlanta's Joe Johnson scored a season-high 37 points Wednesday night in the Hawks' 100-87 home win. Josh Smith (18 points, 11 rebounds) and Al Horford (12, 14) added double-doubles, and Atlanta shot 55.3 percent (42 of 76) and made 10 of 24 3-pointers (41.7 percent). Amir Johnson was Toronto's bright spot with 20 points and 14 rebounds. DeMar DeRozan scored 16, but all Raptors other than Johnson and DeRozan were 18 of 50 (36 percent percent) from the field.

QUOTABLE: "It was fun out there tonight. We pretty much dictated how we wanted the game to be played."
-- Joe Johnson, who made 15 of 21 shots, including 5 of 8 3-point shots

THE STAT: The Hawks are 11-2 when Joe Johnson has seven or more assists. He had eight Wednesday night.

TURNING POINT: Toronto opened the second half facing a nine-point deficit, and rode a 10-0 blitz to a 55-54 lead only to watch it disintegrate over the next 4:21 as Atlanta made six of its next nine shots. The Raptors missed five of seven shots in that sequence, and turned the ball over twice leaving Atlanta with a 69-59 lead.

QUOTABLE II: "We were right there until the fourth quarter, but we had no answer for Joe Johnson. They were really good at finding the open guy tonight. The game is 48 minutes, but we only played three quarters."
-- Toronto's Andrea Bargnani

HOT: Hawks small forward Maurice Evans, who started in place of the suspended Marvin Willliams, scored 12 points (one below his season high) and made 5 of 7 shots. He's made 10 of 16 shots over the past four games, including half his six 3-point tries ... Smith has made 23 of 37 shots over the past three games.

NOT: Atlanta's Mike Bibby scored six points Wednesday, and has totaled 14 over the past three games on 5 of 17 shooting (2 of 9 against Toronto) ... Jamal Crawford attempted a modest three 3-point shots Wednesday, making one. That leaves him 3 for 16 over the past three games ... After making just 4 of 12 shots Wednesday, Bargnani has made 8 of 51 shots over his past three games (15.7 percent), and 21 of 74 over the past four (28.4 percent). He's averaging 13 points over the past three games, well below his season average of 20.9. That still leads the Raptors.

ROOKIE WATCH: Toronto forward Ed Davis cooled a bit Wednesday night. He had three points, three rebounds, and two assists after back-to-back games of 15 points and 11 rebounds against the Wolves and 13 and seven against the Pacers.

NOTABLE: Williams missed his second straight game to complete this NBA-mandated two-game suspension for throwing punches at the Knicks' Shawne Williams last Friday. Marvin Williams is expected to return to the starting lineup Friday when the Clippers visit Atlanta.

UP NEXT: For the Raptors, Friday vs. Wolves, Tuesday @ Bucks, Wednesday vs. Spurs. For the Hawks, Friday vs. Clippers, Saturday @ Wizards, Tuesday vs. 76ers.
