After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers outlasted the Hawks 107-101. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
