The Raptors, who began the night tied with Miami for second in the Eastern Conference, never trailed against a struggling Hawks team that's foundering down in last in the East and had won just once in their previous 10 games.

The 33-year-old Lowry, a five-time NBA all-star, was slated to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2019-20 season before agreeing on the extension.

Kyle Lowry scored 24 points, and the Raptors tied a franchise record by making 21 three-pointers.

Leonard, whose workload is being carefully managed after playing just nine games last season with the Spurs due to a quad injury, last saw action last Wednesday in Boston.

Kyle Lowry had 16 points and collected his 5,000th career assist for the Toronto Raptors.
