After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Trail Blazers 132-128 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
