The Atlanta Hawks fell to 0-2 in Las Vegas Summer League play on Sunday with an 85-68 loss to the Blazers. Atlanta’s roster is already a little short-handed in the area of offensive creation and they played without Tyler Dorsey, out with a hip injury. Trae Young also sat the entire second half as a precaution due to a quad contusion that he sustained in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks that tightened as the game progressed.
The game was fairly evenly played apart from a blistering 25-3 run by the Blazers in the first half. Portland converted 5 of their 7 three point attempts in a 27 point first quarter.
