In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the Cavaliers 134-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
