PORTLAND —
This time, the Hawks faced the Trail Blazers’ dynamic backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
On their home court.
They still won.
The Hawks used an 11-4 fourth-quarter run to start a four-game western road trip with a 104-98 victory in a nationally televised game Wednesday at the Moda Center. The Hawks swept the season series and have won four straight over the Trail Blazers. The sweep came after the Hawks won in Atlanta in December with the Trail Blazers starting guards both out injured.
