After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Hawks 111-81. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
