After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks pulled away from the Trail Blazers 129-119 in overtime. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
