After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Trail Blazers 99-95. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
