After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Cavaliers 121-91. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
