After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks took care of the Trail Blazers 112-101. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
