After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Trail Blazers 130-128. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
