After Pascal Siakam dominated the Hawks on every level, the Raptors clinched a playoff spot for the first time in nine seasons. william_lou covers it all in his latest 10 Things column.
Toronto doubled Atlanta in offensive rebounds 20 to 10 and was plus-20 in paint points as a result. Khem Birch was solid to start, but the Raptors' energy really picked up when Boucher, Thad Young, and Precious Achiuwa checked in off the bench. The lineup of those three forwards with Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. allowed the Raptors to climb back into the lead against the Hawks' bench, and it was largely through dominating the glass.
Meanwhile, VanVleet made his first All-Star appearance, Siakam is en route to a second All-NBA nod, and Nurse is as sharp as it gets as a tactician. Ujiri himself said on opening night that this would be a developmental year, and what that looks like is a career year for many franchises, with the Raptors sitting comfortably with 46 wins and with a core that is completely under team control through at least next year.
