The Portland Trail Blazers faced the Atlanta Hawks tonight without leading scorer Damian Lillard and his trustworthy sidekick CJ McCollum. Lillard is struggling with plantar fasciitis, McCollum recovering from an ankle turn against the Miami Heat on Sunday morning. Down a pair of 20-point scorers, the Blazers had little chance in this contest, the outcome a foregone conclusion before the ball was tipped. As expected, the Hawks stifled Portland for three quarters, taking a 77-58 lead into the fourth. The Blazers scored 39 in the final period to make the score look respectable, 106-97, but the game was over long before the final buzzer sounded.
