After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Trail Blazers 114-111. Hawks torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
