Portland Trail Blazers 112, Atlanta Hawks 106
The Blazers were without Jusuf Nurkic and then they lost CJ McCollum in the first half but they persevered.
Six Blazers scored in double figures led by Damian Lillard's 36 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. He came up huge late in the game - sinking clutch free-throws and taking a charge.

Trae Young was the Hawks' top contributor with 25 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds but he couldn't stop the Hawks from dropping their seventh game in the last nine after starting the season 3-0.
