After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 119-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
