After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers upended the Hawks 107-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
