After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Hawks 117-70. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
