After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Cavaliers buried the Hawks 130-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
