Fighting a stomach illness, Smith had 19 points and 11 rebounds for his sixth straight double-double against Portland, and the Atlanta Hawks snapped a two-game skid with a 95-87 win over the Trail Blazers on Monday night.

 

"It feels good," Smith said. "The crowd is outstanding (in Portland), and I get geared up for games like this."

 

Kyle Korver added 16 points and Al Horford had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks, who closed with an 8-0 run. Atlanta was playing the second game of a four-game West Coast swing after losing 89-76 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.

 

"This was a really gutsy win by our guys," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "We fell into a similar situation last night in LA, where we played well for three quarters and then in the fourth quarter collapsed. Tonight we weathered the storm."

 

JJ Hickson had 19 points and 18 rebounds, and Nicolas Batum scored 19 points to lead Portland, which dropped its fourth straight. Wesley Matthews had 17 points and made all 10 of his free throws.

 

Trail Blazers All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting. He added eight assists, but had just seven points in the first three quarters.
