Hawks and Raptors Set to Battle at State Farm Arena
As the Atlanta Hawks prepare to welcome the Toronto Raptors to the State Farm Arena, fans are anticipating an exciting matchup. The Hawks have been showing a mixed bag of performances in their recent games, which suggests that consistency is something they'll be looking to improve upon.
In their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, despite a strong offensive display with 119 points and shooting 47 percent from the field, they fell short by six points. Their three-point shooting was below par at 30 percent, which they will need to address before facing the Raptors. However, their free-throw accuracy was impressive at 80 percent.
The previous away game against Miami Heat saw them scoring 113 points but again on the losing side with a nine-point deficit. The team managed a better three-point percentage at 35 but struggled defensively allowing 122 points.
However, it's not all doom and gloom for the Hawks; in another recent away game against Houston Rockets, they emerged victorious with an impressive tally of 134 points and an outstanding field goal percentage of over half their attempts finding success. They also demonstrated efficiency from beyond the arc hitting nearly half of their three-point attempts.
The upcoming home advantage might just be what Atlanta needs to find some consistency and get back on track. With solid free-throw shooting being one consistent strength across these games and high-scoring potential demonstrated in Houston, there's hope for a competitive game against Toronto.
