(Toronto) Trae Young scored 29 points as the Atlanta Hawks lost the Toronto Raptors 114-103 on Saturday.
Dejounte Murray has provided 27 points for the Hawks, who have won their last three road games.
Nate McMillan’s group played the day after a last-minute victory in Indianapolis.
Young also had nine assists, while Murray grabbed eight rebounds. Each also racked up two flights.
“Young is always going to do a bit of everything,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. Murray has been very consistent and a lot of their other guys have had a good game as well. »
Nurse was then referring to AJ Griffin (13 points), De’Andre Hunter (11), John Collins (11) and Onyeka Okongwu (10).
Griffin is the son of Adrian Griffin, one of Nurse’s assistants.
Griffin and Hunter each went three-for-five for 3-pointers, helping the Hawks post a 40.7% success rate in that regard.
Scottie Barnes led the Toronto clan with 27 points, 12 more than Pascal Siakam.
OG Anunoby (14), Precious Achiuwa (14) and Chris Boucher (13) also scored 10 points.
Used for 26 minutes, Fred VanVleet only managed one out of nine shots.
A long shot from Boucher cut the Hawks’ lead to 107-100 with 3:08 remaining in the final quarter.
Toronto, however, missed two chances close to the basket and Murray added free throws for the score of 111-102 in favor of the Hawks, with 1: 13 on the clock.
“We wanted to win and we were ready,” said Murray, who was drafted 29e in 2016, by San Antonio.
Occupying 11e rank in the East, the Raptors ended a lengthy home stint with a 3-3 record. Their overall record is 19-24.
Atlanta went 16 straight in the first quarter, taking a 20-3 cushion.
The Raptors’ start to the game was reminiscent of Jan. 4. That night in Toronto, the Raptors missed their first 15 shots in a backhand against Milwaukee.

The Georgia club stayed the course in the second quarter, where backup Jalen Johnson collected his nine points of the game.
The visitors led 69-57 at the half, thanks in particular to 18 points from Murray and 17 from Young.
