After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Hawks 126-106. Trail Blazers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
