After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Trail Blazers 121-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
