Big road win

[capstone21]

Good to see we beat a talented but young teamTeague missed his first free throw which is too bad

Just looked at the Hawks/Blazers stats and saw that the Hawks held the Blazers to 36% FG shooting for the game. That is pretty impressive!

Well they almost choked, but a W is a W. GO HAWKS.

Early in season, on the road and a team that is still learning to play together. Huge. Hope we can build on it

Great win. Just saw the hi lights on nbatv since I missed the game. Hawks bench out scored Portland bench and had more fast break points, glad to see the hawks pushing the ball. My only ptoblem is Jj Hickson had 19pts and a field day on the glass. Hawks gotta close up that paint. Other then that, great road win.

I keep trying to remember why we didn't pick up Hickson when he was put on waivers last year. Good win, though.

In the past we would lose these games. Good win!

No we wouldn't. Portland is a talented, but inconsistent young team with absolutely no bench. We usually take care of those types of teams, even if we struggle a little with them ( like we did tonight ). It's the mediocre to good teams we tend to lose to more than we beat. And that pattern hasn't changed much this year.
