After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks downed the Cavaliers 98-83. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
