After Action Report

What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
