After Action Report
The Hawks downed the Trail Blazers 128-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
