How the game was won: The Hawks shot over 60 percent from the field the entire game as they dismantled the Raptors Friday night at the Air Canada Centre. All five starters scored in double figures led by Al Horford with 22 points. Paul Millsap (16), DeMarre Carroll (13), Jeff Teague (13), Kyle Korver (11) and Kent Bazemore (10) also hit the double-digit mark.

Turning point: The Hawks used another run to end the first half to do in an opponent. They ended the second quarter on a 14-6 run for a 52-38 advantage at intermission. The rout was on.

Number: 24. The Hawks' lead at one point during the third quarter as they completely dominated the Raptors in their own building.

Next: The Hawks end their four-game road trip at the Bulls Saturday night. They begin a season-long seven-game homestand against the Pistons Monday afternoon in a Martin Luther King Day matinee.
