To say that the NBA team has never defended the team, the Blazers are definitely one of the leaders, after being bombarded by the Lakers with 139 points, the Blazers' reputation is great, and everyone has more points to see for this non-defensive team. Also known for not defending is today's opponents, the Hawks, which also made the game a head-to-head battle before it even started, with a score of 130+ being more than enough. Breaking the record also became the main theme of the game.
In the first half, the Blazers took the lead in attacking, hitting 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, but the Hawks did not want to show weakness, they continued to respond under the leadership of Trae Young, and the score of the two teams was still glued in the first quarter. The second quarter began, the Blazers continued to bombard, a wave of 20-6 double-digit advantage, but the weakness of the defensive end gave Trae Young a chance, he exploded 13 points in the 2 and a half minutes at the end of the quarter, and slashed 29 points and 9 assists at halftime to force the point difference to 5 points.
In the second half of the game, the Blazers still continued their offensive momentum, the defensive end was full of holes, although they bombed 30 points, but let the opponent Eagles explode 40 points, the score advantage was exhausted, and the Eagles took the lead. However, in the final quarter, the Blazers woke up like a dream, the team continued to output on the offensive end, but the Hawks suddenly lost power, only 4 points in the first 7 minutes, and the Blazers closed the game in one fell swoop with a 16-4 attack wave.
