After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 115-90. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
