After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Trail Blazers 121-106. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
