After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers survived the Hawks 101-100. Trail Blazers' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
