After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Hawks 95-88. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
