Hawks try again, this time against Blazers, to reach elusive .500 mark

The Atlanta Hawks will try to get to the .500 mark for the first time since December when they complete a five-game homestand by hosting the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Atlanta has won three straight games, including a pair of wire-to-wire victories over woeful Washington. The Hawks haven't had a .500 record since Dec. 21 when they were 15-15. Since then, they've been within a game of break-even three times and failed to win.

Portland is coming off a 109-93 loss to Charlotte on Saturday afternoon.
