After Action Report
The Cavaliers shocked the Hawks 112-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
