After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Trail Blazers 132-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
