Friday nights matchup may be one that the Hawks look to learn from as they continue to grow together this season. It was poor shooting night for the Hawks as they shot 36 percent from the field as a team. Dennis Schroder was the Hawks leading scorer and he finished the night with 14 points and 4 assist on just (5-14) shooting from the field. Taurean Prince didn’t have his best night in a Hawks uniform. Prince finished with 11 points and 8 rebounds on (4-11) shooting from the field. Off the bench, guards Malcolm Delaney, Isaiah Taylor and Tyler Dorsey all finished the night with 8 points.
Hustle hard on defense will lead to offense ✊

For the Trailblazers, the return of all-star guard Damian Lillard has been key. Lillard finished the night with 14 points and 6 assist shooting (6-15) from the field. C.J. McCollum led the Blazers in scoring on the night with 20 points. The Blazers shot 53% from the field controlling the pace and keeping the Hawks at enough distance to pull away with the win.
