After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Trail Blazers 112-96. Hawks torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
