Raptors win fifth straight, sweep Hawks in season series

TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 15, and the Toronto Raptors beat the Atlanta Hawks 106-90 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.

C.J. Miles added 14 points as the Eastern Conference leaders won for the 12th time in 13 games and completed their first season sweep of the Hawks since the 2001-02 season.

The Raptors are 27-5 at home, the best record in the NBA. Toronto, which trailed by one to begin the fourth quarter, improved to 4-16 when behind through three quarters.

Toronto outscored Atlanta 30-13 in the fourth. The Hawks shot 6-for-18 in the quarter and committed eight turnvoers.

“Whenever we get a chance to get stops and just get out and play, we’re at our best,” DeRozan said. “It took until the fourth quarter for us to bring that out.”

Kent Bazemore and John Collins each scored 15 points, but the Hawks lost for the sixth time in eight games.
