After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Hawks 115-85. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Hawks. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
