After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Hawks 107-106. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
