After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 116-96. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
