After Action Report

The Cavaliers handled the Hawks 120-109. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Hawks. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
