After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 116-96. Hawks torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
