After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks squeaked past the Cavaliers 121-120. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Hawks; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
