After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 125-89. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
