Raptors roar to season-best sixth straight win with victory over Hawks
TORONTO — The largest margin of victory in franchise history. The best shooting percentage of the season. The NBA’s longest current win streak, and a place back atop the Eastern Conference standings.
The Raptors roared to a thrilling 128-84 rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, and in the moments after the momentous win, coach Dwane Casey was asked if he’ll allow himself to feel at least a little bit proud.
“No,” Casey said, without pause. “There’s a thin line between the penthouse and the outhouse in this league.
“It’s something that I never forget. I’ve been in it too long, seen too much, to understand what it takes and where things can go.”
