On January 4, Beijing time, the Blazers played at home against the Hawks, and the Blazers successfully defeated the Hawks 136-131 at the end of the game. The Blazers have been in poor form recently, and although the Blazers have brought back Nurkic in this game, Lillard is missing the game due to abdominal discomfort, so it is really not a simple thing to win against the Eagles Blazers. After the game began, the Blazers outside the three-point burst to occupy the lead, but the Hawks also have a good state, in the second half of the game, the Hawks are more full of fire to complete the counterattack, but unfortunately in the fourth quarter of the game, the Blazers set off a counterattack to regain the lead, and finally the Hawks lost the game, and the Blazers also stopped the team's 4 consecutive losses.

In the second quarter, the Hawks played a wave of 7-0 to complete the rebound, but soon the Blazers responded to take the initiative, while the hawks offensive downturn allowed the Blazers to seize the opportunity to open the score, and in the final stage, the Blazers attacked the downturn, Trae Young broke out to help the Hawks chase points, and the Hawks trailed by 5 points at the end of the half.

In the fourth quarter, the Blazers played a wave of 16-4 to take the lead, but after Trae Young and Capela helped the team chase points, relying on Nurkic's play, the Blazers resisted the counterattack, and finally the Blazers won the game.
It can be said that it is not easy for the Blazers to win the game, after all, they are missing Lillard in this game, but in this game Nurkic, Powell and Little have a good offensive state, they are helping the team to take the lead, of course, more importantly, Simmons in this game offensive explosion, the end of the game Simmons 21 13 got 43 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance set a record, Simmons became the youngest player in Blazers history to score 40+ in a single game (aged 22).

As for the Hawks also once had a good offensive state in the game, but unfortunately the Hawks performed in the opening stage of the fourth quarter, which made the opponent open the score, and finally the Hawks were not able to catch up with the score, as for Harden's perfect match Capela in the game is really trying his best, the end of the game Capela 10 of 10 got 22 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist data, although his offensive state is very efficient, but this is still no way to stop the decline of the team. As for the other Hawks, Gallinari had 7 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-14 shooting, Lou Wei had 0 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists on 0-of-3 shooting, and Hult had 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
And Trae Young in the game is really trying his best, at the same time in this game Trae Young's offensive state is really good, in the final stage of the game is almost no suspense, Trae Young is still able to hit the magical three-pointer, but this is useless for the Hawks, after all, there is little time left even if Trae Young has a magical play is still difficult to save the overall situation, and finally Trae Young did not lead the team to win under the data of 56 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists. With such stats, Trae Young became the second player in the NBA to lose after Nate Archibald in 1973, who scored more than 50 points and 14 assists in a single game.
