The Toronto Raptors are took down the Atlanta Hawks 134-117 on Saturday night as RJ Barrett continued to prove his value to the Raptors' offensive ecosystem.

Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Barrett's 29 points against Atlanta, the ways in which he's helped the Raptors restore offensive balance since returning, the sneaky value of his eager three-point shooting, and the extremely streamlined nature of his shot chart. Next, Sean and Vivek chat about the Raptors' surprise traps being a secret weapon, the evolution of their top-5 ranked defense over the season, and Scottie Barnes' growing case to be considered for Defensive Player of the Year. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through The Good (Mamu!), The Bad (Brandon Ingram middies before they go in, CMB getting rooked) and The Hmmm (The CMB-Barnes-Ingram trio, Ingram's defense) to round out the show. Discord: https://discord.gg/kbQDcKcwEverydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
