After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Trail Blazers 104-103. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
