After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Hawks 128-101. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
