After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Trail Blazers 120-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
