After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Trail Blazers 108-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
