After Action Report
In Portland, the Hawks snuck past the Trail Blazers 107-103 in overtime. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
