Hawks blown out by Raptors in 'embarrassing' loss
ATLANTA — Following a preseason full of promise and excitement over what is supposed to be the best roster yet surrounding Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks were crushed by the Toronto Raptors 138-118 in their season opener Wednesday night.
After his team was outscored 86-56 in the paint, 34-11 in fastbreak points and was outrebounded by 20, Young didn't mince words about the Hawks' season-opening dud at home.
"I don't think there's too many positives you can take from tonight," Young said. "It's embarrassing the way we started it. A lot of it comes from the preseason, obviously it carried over, we didn't play all five of us. You could tell by the continuity we had out there, it wasn't right.
Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes all get their moments in Raptors opener

ATLANTA — Three of the four players getting up shots before a 10 a.m. shootaround on Wednesday should delight Raptors fans — no shade to Garrett Temple, the other guy.
That Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett were getting their work in early at State Farm Arena is encouraging. They are the three wings used to having more than an equal share of the ball in a game. They are the guys who, if the Raptors were to outpace their expectations this year, will have to sacrifice some of their own goals while complementing one another in new and perhaps unexpected ways. Collectively, they face the most skepticism. To get what they want, they’ll need to not only coexist but also enhance one another.
